In Sam Lloyd's treatise about the "eighth book" of these objects, he presents a paradox involving two monks of similar size made of these objects, one of which has a leg, the other of which does not.
In Sam Lloyd's treatise about the "eighth book" of these objects, he presents a paradox involving two monks of similar size made of these objects, one of which has a leg, the other of which does not. The Western counterpart to these objects are called the stomachions, which are used to complete the loculus of Archimedes. A theorem proved by Fu Traing Wang and Chuan-Chin Hsiung showed that there are only thirteen ways to generate (*) convex shapes using these objects. The simplest such shape formed by these objects is a giant square, half of which is comprised by its two largest pieces. Two large triangles, one medium triangle, two small triangles, a square, and a trapezoid, comprise Â– for 10 points Â– what set of seven shapes developed by the Song Dynasty and often used in recreational mathematics?
