@mbonsma@mastodon.social This, as stated, is obviously incorrect. Otherwise the boxes that the puzzles come in would be larger in area than the assembled puzzle. However they are always smaller in area than the assembled puzzle.

@platkus@mastodon.social we and you are making different assumptions about what constitutes the area of a puzzle. Our question was "how much area does it take to lay out all the pieces in a single layer", while of course in the box they don't need to be in a single layer. In the extreme case, you could stack every piece on top of the others and say the area of an unassembled puzzle is 1 piece. That's fine! Just not what we were trying to figure out.
