How to solve Puzzle 044?
You will need to divide up a sheet of stamps so that they all add up to $1.00 with no repeating shapes cut out.
Your friend just got back from the post office where she purchased a sheet of stamps with values ranging from $.10 to $1.00.
First, your friend cut out the $1.00 stamp and set it aside. Then she divided the remaining stamps into seven uniquely shaped bunches, each with a total value of $1.00?
Can you divide this sheet of stamps the same way your friend did?
Pay close attention to the uniquely shaped bunches. You may find that even though you’ve split the stamps into groups of $1.00, you haven’t completely met the success criteria for the puzzle.
Start from the edges, where there are only a few specific combinations that can make up the $1.00. It may take a bit of trial and error to get the best configuration, but it’ll help you understand the placement of the stamps better.
What are the hints for Puzzle 044?
Hint 1
There’s no trick to solving this one. You just need to work things out dollar by dollar. You’ll have an easier time of things if you start from the stamps with higher values, like $.80 or $.90.
Just remember that each group of stamps must take a different shape.
Hint 2
Even if you’ve successfully divided the stamps into $1.00 groups, the answer won’t count unless each group has a different shape.
Here’s one combination to get you started.
The four stamps in the upper-left square of the sheet should be cut away to form a group.
Hint 3
The $.90 stamp forms a two-stamp group with the $.10 stamp to its right.
Also, the three $.30 stamps form a group with the $.10 stamp located between them.
Puzzle 044 Answer
Group 1:
From the top-left corner, group together the: $.10, the $.20 stamps to its right and beneath it, and the $.50.
Group 2:
Start with the $.10 next to the $.20 used for Group 1, the group with it the $.60 to its right, the $.20 below the $.60 and the $.10 to the right of the $.20.
Group 3:
Start with the $.30 between Groups 1 and 2. Group with it, the $.30 to its bottom-left across to the other $.30 on the right.
Group 4:
On the left side, cut out the $.10 below Group 1, straight down to the bottom $.10.
Group 5:
Start from the $.20 in between the $.80 and $.90 stamps. Cut with it, the $.70 stamp below it and the $.10 next to the $.70.
Group 6:
The $.90 and the $.10 stamp to its immediate right.
Group 7:
It should be all that remains if you’ve been going group by group. From the bottom-right corner: $.10, the $.30 to its left and then from above it, the $.40 and the $.20.
The positioning of the high-value stamps can make this a bit trickier, but with some trial and error, you’ll be able to deduce which the correct configuration is.

You will need to divide up a sheet of stamps so that they all add up to £1.00 with no repeating shapes cut out.
You just got back from the post office, where you bought a sheet of stamps with values ranging from 10p to £1.00.
First, you detach the £1.00 stamp and set it aside. Now, can you divide the remaining stamps up so that you make seven differently-shaped groups of stamps, each with a total value of £1.00?
Pay close attention to the differently-shaped groups. You may find that even though you’ve split the stamps into groups of £1.00, you haven’t completely met the success criteria for the puzzle.
Start from the edges, where there are only a few specific combinations that can make up the £1.00. It may take a bit of trial and error to get the best configuration, but it’ll help you understand the placement of the stamps better.

The 90p stamp forms a two-stamp group with the 10p stamp to its right.
Also, the three 30p stamps form a group with the 10p stamp located between them.
Puzzle 044 Answer
Group 1:
From the top-left corner, group together the: 10p, the 20p stamps to its right and beneath it, and the 50p.
Group 2:
Start with the 10p next to the 20p used for Group 1, the group with it the 60p to its right, the 20p below the 60p and the 10p to the right of the 20p.
Group 3:
Start with the 30p between Groups 1 and 2. Group with it, the 30p to its bottom-left across to the other 30p on the right.
Group 4:
On the left side, cut out the 10p below Group 1, straight down to the bottom 10p.
Group 5:
Start from the 20p in between the 80p and 90p stamps. Cut with it, the 70p stamp below it and the 10p next to the 70p.
Group 6:
The 90p and the 10p stamp to its immediate right.
Group 7:
It should be all that remains if you’ve been going group by group. From the bottom-right corner: 10p, the 30p to its left and then from above it, the 40p and the 20p
The positioning of the high-value stamps can make this a bit trickier, but with some trial and error, you’ll be able to deduce which the correct configuration is.
