Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $196$
- The Four Stars
- Can you cut the square into four pieces, all of exactly the same size and shape,
- each piece to contain a star, and each piece to contain one of the four central squares?
- The cuts must all pass along the lines, a condition that simplifies the puzzle rather than adds to its difficulty.
