Puzzle Prices
My prices are based on the number of pieces. The current price is 30p per piece. An A3 sized puzzle will have 400-500 pieces.
3D puzzles, because they are quite a lot more complicated, and take much more time than a single-thickness one, and more wood as well, will have 3% of the number of pieces added - that's an extra £5 for a 200-piece puzzle, £10 for 500-piece, etc.
Puzzles which have the background cut away will have an extra £5 added. These are cheaper to start with because I count the pieces, not the white spaces! Painted puzzles: extra £10 per side painted.

1212. PYTHAGORAS'S THEOREM
Pythagoras lived in the 6th century BC, and we still use his method of finding the length of an unknown side of a right-angled triangle - "the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides." This is an illustration of it - the two smaller squares will fit into the largest square. (Perigal's dissection).
