Question

Which one of the following sets of pieces can be assembled to form a square with a single round hole near the center? Pieces cannot overlap.

The correct answer is

Square Assembly Analysis

The task is to find a set of pieces that perfectly assemble into a square containing one round hole near the center, without pieces overlapping.

Piece Set Evaluation for Square Formation

We assess each option based on the shapes and potential fit:

  • Option 1: These irregular shapes cannot form the precise boundary of a square with a distinct central hole.
  • Option 2: Similar to Option 1, the pieces lack the necessary geometry for creating the target square shape.
  • Option 3: This set includes a central piece with a round cutout and four edge pieces. Assembling the edge pieces around the central piece creates a complete square structure, leaving the round cutout as the required central hole. This configuration meets all conditions.
  • Option 4: The pieces in this option are unsuitable for forming a square with a central circular void.

Finalizing the Square Assembly

Only Option 3 provides the correct pieces required to assemble a square with a single round hole near the center.

    (rotation and translation operations may be used).

  2. A jigsaw puzzle has 2 pieces. One of the pieces is shown above. Which one of the given options for the missing piece when assembled will form a rectangle? The piece can be moved, rotated or flipped to assemble with the above piece.

  3. A jigsaw puzzle has 2 pieces. One of the pieces is shown above. Which one of the given options for the missing piece when assembled will form a rectangle? The piece can be moved, rotated or flipped to assemble with the above piece.

  4. The figure shows two 4-tile patterns.

     



    Either one or both of the patterns can be used any number of times and in any orientation to construct a new pattern. Which one of the options below cannot be constructed by using only these two 4-tile patterns assuming there are no overlaps among them?
