For Puzzle 76, you need to figure out the fewest number of tiles you’d need to use to make a square.
You have at your disposal a large number of tiles like the one shown below.
If you were to take these tiles and try to make a square, what is the fewest number of tiles you’d need?
Unfortunately, you can’t just make a square by breaking a single tile to make the right shape.
However, that style of out-of-the-box thinking will help you get to the correct answer.
What are the hints for Puzzle 076?
Hint 1
Since the tiles have a different length and width, you’ll need to find a number that can be divided by both dimensions.
Of course, the puzzle doesn’t end there. You’ll need to do a little creative thinking in order to find the fewest number of tiles that allow you to form a square.
Hint 2
Don’t forget that the puzzle also gives you the thickness of the tiles.
Hint 3
As the sides of the tiles are 10 and 12 inches long, the smallest common multiple of the two works to 60. Therefore, you’ll need to arrange a 5×6 tile square. That’s a total of 30 tiles. Simple, right?
Too simple, in fact. There’s a way to make a square using even fewer tiles.
Puzzle 076 Answer
The fewest number of tiles you’d need to make a square is 20.
