Archimedes Ostomachion – Tangram Puzzle

Great Minds is a series of puzzles by Professor Puzzle, based on the theories and achievements of great scientists.

Ostomachion (bone and battle-the battle of the bones) was called a mathematical text by Archimedes, on which the homonymous game of antiquity was based. Ostomachion looks like today’s tangram. It was played with 14 geometric shapes (bones) with which two or more players made different geometric figures and competed with each other.
