How I Designed This

I used the image on this website http://pi.math.cornell.edu/~mec/GeometricDissections/1.2%20Archimedes%20Stomachion.html?fbclid=IwAR2WHPW1fCccYJocnY3m7KGqSdukTVQOS2YScHd1d80zTr9TUXCfGzGo-Ag#1 to get the coordinate points for the pieces. Then for the tray I created two boxes and cut one form the other. It took several attempts of increasing the inside boxes size to get the pieces to fit.

Custom Section

While doing this project I wondered about how Cutler determined that there were 536 unique solutions.
