| Apr 23, 2016 at 19:36 | comment | added | j.c. | The "Sei Shonagon Chie no Ita" is another dissection puzzle where the question of the number of distinct convex rearrangements has been studied arxiv.org/abs/1407.1923 . The solution depends on Wang and Hsiung's techniques, which appear to be special to dissections made of pieces which can all be decomposed into congruent isoceles right triangles. The Stomach(ion) doesn't appear to have this property. | |
