Book Overview

The ultimate fusion of puzzles and origami!

In Einstein Origami Puzzles, origami master Sy Chen shows you how to fold ingenious hat-shaped "Einstein" paper pieces that fit together endlessly without ever repeating the same pattern. Chen provides clear, step-by-step instructions and photos for dozens of fascinating paper puzzles and brain teasers you can create with simple paper polygons.

You'll start by learning to fold the "Einstein" polygon from a single sheet of paper. This unique shape baffled mathematicians for many decades until a clever hat-shaped version was discovered in 2023. Chen then developed a folded paper version of this remarkable shape, along with many variations--including one folded from a dollar bill! All of these are featured in this groundbreaking book.

Along with his 10 innovative "Einstein" tiles, Chen also offers instructions for creating folded paper shapes used in entertaining geometric puzzles and games, such as:
  • Polyominoes: Tetris-like folded paper pieces that can be fitted together in a variety of ways
  • Tangrams: Seven simple origami shapes that form deceptively challenging tangram puzzles
  • Rep-Tiles: Geometric shapes formed of smaller pieces having the same shape
  • And more: Including a unique origami jigsaw puzzle

The perfect book for anyone who loves brain teasers, mathematical challenges and jigsaw puzzles!
