notes: label: Description
content: This British tangram puzzle consists of seven plastic pieces in various shades of green stored in a cardboard box. A folded paper entitled “Pythagoras Challenge Sheet” shows 179 shapes into which the pieces can be arranged. Finally, a slip of paper gives procedures for returning defective parts. The box has a brightly colored cover showing what appears to be a Disney drawing of Peter Pan as a trademark. There is no reference to the Asian origins of the puzzle.
