177. Pythagoras 3-4-5
The puzzle illustrates - and proves - Pythagoras's most famous
theorem (which is quoted on the back). The two smaller squares can be rearranged to fit into the space for the largest
square.
None of the pieces in the central Pythagorean shape
is next to another piece of the same colour. Whether you think this makes it more or less difficult depends on your
point of view!

I was arranging an exhibition of my puzzles in Prestatyn
Library when a visitor asked me, "Are they pictures or puzzles?"
In the case of the above painted ones, generally both! They are (except for the Buttercup Fairy) painted directly
on to the
sealed wood and then cut - or
cut first and then painted (as in Pythagoras).
As there is no pre-existing picture, all the above illustrations are photos
of the finished puzzles.
There are also some more handpainted puzzles on the Children's page.
