The reader will see, by inspection of the accompanying drawings, that
the only way to solve this problem is by making a cut along the dotted
line "A" before making that along the dotted line "B." This is the only
possible method of obtaining four pieces with two cuts of the scissors.
This being done, the method of rejoining the pieces so as to form the
clown, as shown in the smaller diagram, will easily be followed, the
pieces being numbered in order to show more readily where they fall.
