An acute angled triangle is a triangle in which
every one of its angles is less than ninety degrees.

Puzzle: Given a square, fill the square completely
with ACUTE-ANGLED triangles s. t.
      Area of square = Sum of the areas of the acute angled triangles

Note that the question is not how many triangles, or the
minimum number of triangles to be found, but to find some
solution.  And yes, there is more than one solution.
Before you start yelling "Eureka" make sure that EVERY triangle
in your solution is an acute angled triangle.

Solution next week.
