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. asgb!vasudev
