It will be seen that one cross is cut out entire, as A in Fig. 1, while
the four pieces marked B, C, D and E form the second cross, as in Fig.
2, which will be of exactly the same size as the other. I will leave the
reader the pleasant task of discovering for himself the best way of
finding the direction of the cuts. Note that the Swastika again appears.
The difficult question now presents itself: How are we to cut three
Greek crosses from one in the fewest possible pieces? As a matter of
fact, this problem may be solved in as few as thirteen pieces; but as I
know many of my readers, advanced geometricians, will be glad to have
something to work on of which they are not shown the solution, I leave
the mystery for the present undisclosed.
