On this page the first 100 (best known) solutions are displayed for the challenging squares puzzle. The exercise is:
-
Only concrete sizes of squares are available, e.g. centimeters or inches, or use square paper.
-
The puzzle surface is square of N by N (the larger, the more challenging)
-
The puzzle pieces are all squares smaller than N, so 1x1 tot till (N-1) x (N-1)
-
You can choose yourself which pieces to use, as long as they are all different.
-
Of course pieces may never overlap
-
Target is to cover as much surface as possible (covering all would be a perfect solution)
