3x5 = 5x3 (Posted on 2004-09-30)

Using 15 red unit blocks, build five 3x1 bricks. Using 15 white unit blocks, build three "U-shaped" blocks.

The puzzle: place the red pieces so they completely cover the white pieces.

If I take the 3 U's and set them upright so that when viewed from two sides they appear to be 1 U, then I can easily cover the top with 3 red bricks. 4 if I want it to be level.
