Reminds me of the odd shaped colored blocks we would play with as kids and make standard shapes out of them.

I can guarantee someone in a math department somewhere got a PhD for this.

I'd be interested in one that has the vertices marked so we can see how they track.

When you see that it's off center and then you can't unsee it

What have you done

Wow, we just went full...triangle?

Only thing not satisfying is that it's not centered.

Now do a circle.

How did someone even think of how this would work? Like what's the thought process to know where to draw the lines and rotate?
Nerdygasm
We did stuff like this in middle school, actually. Also had to make up abstract shapes that fit together perfectly to fill a poster-board.

I believe that feild of mathematics is called low demensional topology.

Dudeney's Hinged Dissections. The guy is a long-time puzzle maker and mathematician, so he's probably made all manner of cool shit like this

It's simply a combination of interest and intelligence. A lot of things that seem difficult are.

Math. And I know nothing about it..

It can be trial and error but there's also an algorithm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinged_dissection

The same way someone thought to play "Dark side of the Moon" while watching "The Wizard of Oz".

basic geometry. at least we had this shit in school.

They're huge nerds. Not nerds like you and me. Useful nerds. Nerds with educations.
InCaseofMetaBreakGlass
I am a nerd with an education. I am not a useful nerd in the slightest, however.
Rymdblomma
Nerds who do this are nerds with maths degrees. Their usefulness can be argued.

I'm sure it's easier if you start with the square and work from there.
HappyEngineer
With algebra you can describe the answer you're seeking without knowing it precisely, then work backwards. That's why algebra's cool.

Geometry, bitch. Source: I teach Geometry. Also you're not a bitch. I was trying to sound cool.

I have the urge to say 'Thanks Bitch!" But I too want to avoid insulting you, so - Thanks, He Who Teaches Geometry!

Can't people with severe autism just see this and comprehend it pretty easily? I thought I read something about it... I could be wrong tho

A lot of it is just trial an error. Sometimes they get computers to do that. Sometimes they can mathematically prove the possible solutions.
barnwolf
Not sure which one it was in this case. Probably a bit of each.
Ionlycommentfinggold
Well first you find the total area need to make the three possible shapes. Once you find that, you can start breaking apart the shapes1/2

And ensuring that the outside lines are accounted for. After that its just a creative choice.
