@TomSwirly@toot.community @mbonsma@mastodon.social I must’ve skipped over the “topologically complicated” section of puzzles in my local bookstore.

@stillmoms@mastodon.social @mbonsma@mastodon.social "Topologically complicated" might be simple as a bunch of long, thin right-angle pieces. The proof seems to assume that puzzle pieces are neatly bounded by small circles, which is very specific, you can think of all sorts of interesting puzzles where this would not be the case. If you're going to claim to have a proof, the conditions need to rule any edge cases where it doesn't work, or it isn't a proof.
