If the size of each of the small edges of the shape is equal to 1cm, then its area is equal to 30cm². Thus, the cube that is formed by the shape must have an edge of length √5cm. If we set the center of the black shape to be the center of one of the cube’s faces, then the four closest vertices must lie on the boundary of the shape, √2.5cm away. This determines uniquely the folding of the shape which is shown on the simulation below.

Rearrange the pieces, so that they form the shadow of the letter “E”, as shown below.
TOUCH: banana, proof, mouse, keyboard, promo, woman
DON’T TOUCH: cherry, solution, cat, screen, discount, girl
Can you guess what determines whether a word is “TOUCH” or “DON’T TOUCH”?
Words that make your lips touch when pronounced belong to the “TOUCH” category, while the others belong to the “DON’T TOUCH” category. The sounds “P”, “B”, “M”, and “W” that cause this are called “bilabial”.
In the exchange below, George is the one organizing the trip and the one who knows which items the rest are allowed to bring.
GEORGE: I will take my guitar with me. What do you want to take?
SAM: Can I take an umbrella with me?
GEORGE: No, you cannot take an umbrella, but you can take some sunscreen.
HELLEN: Can I take a scarf with me?
GEORGE: No, you cannot take a scarf, but you can take a hat.
MONICA: Can I take a dress with me?
GEORGE: No, you cannot take a dress, but you can take some makeup.
Can you guess what the rules of the game are?
Everyone is allowed to take with themselves only items whose first letter is the same as the first letter of their names. Thus, George can take a Guitar, Sam can take Sunscreen, Hellen can take a Hat, and Monica can take Makeup.
What has 4 letters, sometimes 9, and never 5
One night a king and a queen stayed in a hotel. On the next day, three people checked out. Who was the third person?
There are 30 cows and 28 chickens. How many didn’t?
Pronounce the following words: T-W-A, T-W-E, T-W-I, T-W-O
As I was walking across the London Bridge, I met a man.
He tipped his hat, and drew his cane.
In this riddle, I said his name. What is it?
The first puzzle is not a question. It is a statement, saying that the word “what” has 4 letters, the word “sometimes” has 9 letters, and the word “never” has 5 letters. There is nothing to solve, so the puzzle is figuring that out!
The second puzzle reads as “One knight, a king, and a queen stayed in a hotel.” Thus, the third person was the knight.
The third puzzle reads as “There are 30 cows and 20 ate chickens. How many didn’t?” Thus, the answer is that 10 cows didn’t eat chickens.
The fourth question often confuses people and they pronounce TWO as [twou] instead of [tuː].
The fifth riddle actually says: “He tipped his hat, ‘Andrew Hiscane'”. Thus, the name of the man is Andrew Hiscane.

There are 6 petals around the rose.
Roll Dice
The roses are the middle dots on the dice, and the petals are the dots around them. Just count the number of all petals appearing on the five dice and you will get the answer. 1 -> 0, 2 -> 0, 3 -> 2, 4 -> 0, 5 - > 4, 6 -> 0.
The solution is shown below.
What is fascinating about these dissections is that one can transform into the other by keeping the pieces attached to each other in a chain and simply rotating them around the hinge points.
After folding the poster along the lines, you will get the portrait of the fifth pig, Adolf Hitler.
