Strangers sometimes hesitate to order

Perfect Square
Size Unknown

The dimensions of this squsr. arc
not given. as II is required to tind the
solution by geometry alone. without re-
course to figures.
The problem is to divide this square
into the smallest number of pieces that
can bo rearranged so as to form two
smaller squares of such size that the
side of one shall be to the side OF the
other as Is 10 3.
In answer to some inquiries about tho
puzzle Of the Geneva Cross, given las,
week. the chief merit of the solution
lies in finding the smallest number Of
pieces thar will comply with the terms
of the problem.
Even II solution IL sent IN with a
number Of pieces as small as the COM
poser's, IL may not he correct. owing TO
want Of symmetry. or saving OF seams.
