Guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I solved this problem using reverse engineering. I drew an 8x8 and then starting cutting out the blocks to solve. This was unlike the 4x6 which I quickly saw visually as a simple shift. Question - what methods did you use to solve this 8x8 and the 4x6? Just curious.

rookie1ja Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 When the long sides are in full length, I kept them. Then I picked one short side and tried to complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 why don't you do these things so we can solve them online? to try to describe the means is more difficult than solving the puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 One logical way to start the problem is to identify which blocks could not be in the same section. Since the final square is 8 x 8, 2 blocks can not be in the same section if they are further than 7 blocks away vertically or horizontally. In this problem, the original shape is 11 squares wide. Therefore the left 3 rows can certainly not be in the same section as the right 3 rows. This gets us at least this far (see pic) 8x8.JPG[/attachment:13aa2] This approach works as a reasonable starting point for many of these types of problems. In this particular problem, the next thing is to identify which block could possibly provide the top right corner of the final 8 x 8 square. From there on it is relatively easy.
