THE WEAVER’S PUZZLE
Once there was a weaver who had a strange piece of cloth embroidered in a peculiar fashion with four lions and four castles placed as shown in the illustration. The four lions run from near the middle to the left-hand top corner of the cloth and the four castles from the middle to the right hand top comer. The weaver set his friends a problem; it was to cut the cloth into four equal parts of even shape with each a lion and a castle. His friends took a long time to solve the puzzle, but in the end they did; they showed him how to cut the cloth into four parts equal in size and shape and each with a lion and a castle printed somewhere on them.
