Archimedes designed and wrote about a type of puzzle, which he called the tangram. It consists of pieces cut from a square which can be used to make other polygons. This style of tangram is called the Loculus of Archimedes. At over 2,000 years old, it is believed to be the world's oldest puzzle! What Archimedes didn't know at the time was that without rotations or reflections, there are 536 different ways to place the 14 pieces back into the square frame! How many can you find?
