Someone at nostr:npub1cn9fsandgc6nfkdq8sqr9szh0x5djdce3pkgy8f6enxqnxwzx8ssax9nha solved the cow problem!

Simultaneously impressive, exciting, and depressing ...

Take a square, mark the centre, cut out the triangle between the centre and the bottom edge. Glue that onto the right hand side to get an irregular hexagon that I think is vaguely an abstract cow.

Got that?

So the resulting shape, the cow, has a classical two piece dissection where the pieces can be assembled into a square. After all, that's how the cow was constructed.

So ...

Find a *different* two piece classical dissection of the cow where the pieces can be assembled into the square.

Do not give it away !!!

DM me if (or when!) you get a solution.
