Solutions
- Two-piece pyramid puzzles: A regular pyramid is not possible in this case. Instead, we can only form a 4 faced tetrahedron pyramid.
To do this, make the square faces face each other and twist one upright to complete the four faced tetrahedronic pyramid.
- Four-piece pyramid puzzles: Join the four identical pieces in pairs so that the smallest triangular faces meet. Turn the squares to face each other and bring them together. This will leave a square face on the two resulting pieces. With the square sides of the blocks facing each other, twist one piece upright to complete the pyramid.

Famous quotes containing the word solutions:
“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
