1.
Mondrianize-it! This line of puzzles, inspired by the artworks
of the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, consists in dividing
the large square board with straight lines along the
small chequered squares in order to partition the board
into squares and rectangles so that each square holds
exactly one red star and each rectangle, one red dot
(see example below).
2.
Reclone-it! Using the grid dots you have to repartition the large
gray shape within the board opposite into 2 smaller congruent
shapes (that is shapes that coincide exactly when superimposed).
Two congruent shapes can be identical or mirrored, as
illustrated in the examples below.
3.
Pathfinder Draw pathway lines on the pink board to join similar
symbols together (triangle to triangle, pentagon to
pentagon, etc.) Rules

No

cross
the

line
should
be
the
SHORTEST possible.

Pythagoras This game, involving square patterns, is a tribute
to the Greek mathematician Pythagoras and was designed
to stimulate your visuospatial skills! Blacken a white
dot within the board so that, starting from this dot,
the largest number of perfect squares can be drawn by
joining together their vertices. You can obviously join
together only black dots as shown in the example below.

Mag-line Mag-line is a neat Sudoku variant
invented by the French puzzle designer Didier
