It's based on the size and shape of the solid pieces. By rearranging them one can take away a 7th of the length (which in fact equals the area of one square) enabling one to remove one of those three single square pieces.

Nice to see. So now your looking Dutch beercommercials in your spare time, Dave? Should we worry?

You've got me all wrong Herman - I watch beer commercials in many languages, and not in my spare time - it's the main part of my day. LOL
