Quadrix Magic Puzzle
Visualization Through Geometry
Quadrix is a line of new brain teaser puzzles designed according to the Golden Number proportions.
Thanks to the balanced dimensions of their corresponding pieces, the Quadrix puzzles acquire some 'magical' properties... In fact, can you fit the small extra piece into the puzzle without altering its original dimensions? All the pieces must lie tight and flat!
A neat geometrical optical illusion useful for teaching the kids to never believe anything at first sight... until it has been measured correctly and examined using critical and logic reasoning.
