Title:
Iamond Hex
Description:
Very difficult! Twelve pieces made of 6 equilateral triangles joined (”hexiamonds”) fill the circle and can make hundreds of other symmetrical shapes outside the tray, too. This pattern can exactly fill the center hole of the Octiamond Ring below (thanks to Ed Pegg, Jr. for pointing this out to us). Toughest challenge: have all pieces of the same color connected, or separated. Aad van de Wetering proved by computer that each of these conditions has only one solution — out of the 55 possible ways to fill the 5½” tray. Other challenges involve making 2 and 3 congruent shapes, symmetrical figures, tall towers and more. George Sicherman found 131 triplets by computer and five gorgeous yin-yang diamonds. Here’s a solution done in needlepoint. If you purchased this puzzle before July 2013, email us for its printed booklet or see it here. All acrylic. Colors may vary. For 1 to 4 players, ages 12-adult.
