A Holy New Board Game
Hi Math People,
Suppose you have a plywood board measuring 3m by 8m. You want to fill a hole that measures 2m by 12m. You also only want to divide the board into two pieces. Is it possible? I know that real plywood only measures 4 foot by 8 foot. I got this puzzle from [URL]https://www.mathsisfun.com/[/URL] Also, for a hint, this is a simpler problem to one that I asked several months ago. [URL]http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=19499[/URL] Also note that [SPOILER]both the board and the hole measure 24 m^2[/SPOILER] Happy Puzzling, Matt |

I forgot to attach the picture that I borrowed from the internet. Regards, Matt |
