(New Zealand) Pentiamonds (18 sets plus 3) P2

TFisherYork — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:41:13 GMT

There are 4 possible different 'pentiamond' shapes, as shown in the photos. This item consists of 18 sets (i.e. 72 pieces, a set being 4 pieces, one of each shape) plus 3 extra pieces. The main photo shows two of the many shapes which you can make with one set. A crayon and a coin (US quarter) are shown for scale. The following is a link to a pdf file with several puzzle shapes to try to make with a set of 4 pentiamonds. You should be able to print the pdf and have the puzzle shapes come out the same scale as the puzzle pieces, so you can work right on top of the printed puzzle as you try to make it from pentiamonds: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B80etP8uQhDgZzU4azJyZUxXTFE A couple of the photos show the puzzle pieces with the paper backing still on them. The paper backing looks quite nice on one side, as shown, but on the other side there are visible burn marks in the paper from the laser cutting process. So you will probably want to peel the paper off.

Tetrahex puzzle pieces, 1 set (7 pieces).

TFisherYork — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:34:05 GMT

There are 7 possible different 'tetrahex' shapes. This item consists of 1 set of these shapes, i.e. one piece of each of the 7 shapes, as shown in the photo. A crayon and a coin (US quarter) are shown for scale. The other photo shows 1 of the many shapes you can make with these 7 pieces. I have intentionally left a bit of space between the pieces in this photo so you can more easily see the individual pieces; the pieces actually fit together quite snugly. The fuzzy white blobs visible on some of the pieces are reflections of clouds in the sky. The acrylic sheet has paper backing on both sides during laser cutting, and this paper will still be attached when you receive it. You will need to peel the paper off yourself.

I have deliberately left small gaps between the pieces so you can see the individual pieces more easily. The pieces actually fit together very precisely. The white fuzzy blobs visible on some of the pieces are reflections of clouds. The acrylic sheet has paper backing on both sides during laser cutting, and this paper will still be attached when you receive it. You will need to peel the paper off yourself.
