A well-known puzzle is to divide an L-shape - a square with one square
quarter removed - into four identical pieces.
But what about a square where the quarter removed is an isosceles
right-angled triangle with one of the sides as its hypotenuse?
This problem was set in Peter Parley's Annual, 1877, but I fear that
they are no longer available to provide the answer:
