You just got back from the post office, where you bought a sheet of stamps with values ranging from 10p to £1.00.
First, you detach the £1.00 stamp and set it aside. Now, can you divide the remaining stamps up so that you make seven differently-shaped groups of stamps, each with a total value of £1.00?
Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Don't give up!
It's not enough just to divide the stamps into $1.00 groups. Each of the seven groups must be a different shape.
The diagram here shows the stamps divided into $1.00 segments. However, the green sections are the same shape, so it's clear that this particular configuration isn't a valid solution.
Correct
Well done!
