  • This is excellent, he should sell wrapping paper. The jigsaw puzzle page provides interesting insight into the thought required to make something tessellate. I don
  • This is a most interesting post. Great link, Darshon!
  • You're right niccolo, that jigsaw puzzle is some good 'hands on' information.

Unfortunately I don't think it's still available new. But there seem to be several similar bits of kit available on the Web (try searching on 'tesselation'). Alas, even with this kind of help it's still difficult (or perhaps I'm just talentless).
