Henry Ernest Dudeney/Puzzles and Curious Problems/187 - Changing the Suit

Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $187$

Changing the Suit

You are asked to cut the Spade into three pieces that will fit together and form a Heart.

Of course, no part of the material may be wasted, or it would be absurd,

since it would be necessary merely to cut away the stem of the Spade.
