Ostomachion // Archimedes Puzzle

According to Wolfram Alpha, the Ostomachion is a 14-piece dissection puzzle described in fragmentary manuscripts attributed to Archimedes as noted by Magnus Ausonius (310-395 A.D.). This makes it one of the oldest known puzzles.

In November 2003, Bill Cutler found there to be 536 possible distinct arrangements of the pieces into a square, illustrated above, where solutions that are equivalent by rotation and reflection are considered identical (Pegg 2003). Despite this, finding just one arrangement is incredibly challenging!

Files are named by color, but these are simply a suggestion. Color as you wish :)
