The diagram below shows the five different pieces necessary for making this puzzle. For making the squares you need the A-pieces. A square is made by one A1-piece and one A2-piece. These two pieces have to be duplicated six times. Every B-piece has to be made eight times. With a B1-, B2 and B3-piece you can make one hexagon. four different angles are used in this puzzle: The angle of the middle notch in an A-piece is 90°, The angle of the outer notches are 54,7°. In the B-pieces is the angle of the middle most notch 60°, the angle of the right notch is 54,7° the left notch's angle is 70,5°. The distance between the notches is, in contrast to the Orion and Cassiopeia puzzle, of essential importance. Use for the precise distances the design graph of this puzzle.

Design Graph

For this puzzle you need two different design graphs. The first drawing is used for the A-pieces. The outer two notches are exactly the same.

In the B-pieces all notches have different angles. The design graph shown here belongs to the B1-piece. You can use the given values for the other two B-pieces.
