Wooden Puzzles G4G9 by Ben ChaffinYou should have ten pieces (three G's, three 4's, and four 9's) which each measure 5 x 3 x 1 in size. Can you fit them all inside a 5 x 5 x 5 box? Wooden Puzzles G4G10 by Ben ChaffinYou should have ten pieces, all identical in shape -- a 2x2 square with a single cube on top -- but differently painted. Pack them into a 5x5x2 box so that the painted squares spell G on one size, and '4' on the other when flipped sideways like the page of a book. Wooden Puzzles G4G11 by Ben ChaffinYou should have eleven polyomino pieces, with blue stripes on one side and orange on the other. With the orange side up, they fit into a 7x7 square, with all the orange lines aligned. The blue side makes a 5x10 rectangle, again with all lines oriented the same way. Both solutions are unique, except for a trivial swap in the 7x7 square. Enjoy! New twist on buttonhole puzzle by W.
