The Fur Dresser's Mistake (Posted on 2004-05-28) Difficulty: 2 of 5
A fur dresser had to put a patch shaped like a scalene triangle on a piece of fur. Suddenly he realized he had made a terrible mistake. The patch fitted the hole but the fur side faced the wrong way.

Yes, this guarantees they are isosceles... but I think more text is warranted to show that they "can be turned over as required" to satisfy the needs of the problem.
