Hinged dissection[edit]

(

)

... that the concept of hinged dissections was popularized by Henry Dudeny, who introduced the famous hinged dissection of a square into a triangle (pictured) in his 1907 book The Canterbury Puzzles?

Length good at 1758, article is new enough, sourcing is good and text is original. Hook is interesting and cited but in a non-free paper book, so I'll AGF on that. Image should be good as it is an original vector based off a 1907 book, and would make a nice, interesting change for the main one. Only thing about the image is that it looks pretty terrible at 100px. As such, I quickly made a square version (ie 2 rows of 2) for DYK, and have replaced the image above. Looks good to go. -Kieran (talk) 06:57, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
