Henry Ernest Dudeney/Puzzles and Curious Problems/184 - Dissecting the Letter E

by : $184$

 * Dissecting the Letter E
 * In readers were asked to cut this $\text E$ into five pieces
 * that would fit together and form a perfect square.

 * It was understood that no piece was to be turned over,
 * but we remarked that it can be done in four pieces if you are allowed to turn over pieces.


 * I give the puzzle again, with permission to make the reversals.


 * Can you do it in four pieces?


 * We have given all the measurements, so there shall be no doubt as to the correct proportions of the letter.
