What is a 'Jeorge Puzzler'?

Hey Doug, you know, the other day I was thinking about Rickie Puzzlers...

Yes?

And I got to thinking, the reason why Rickie Puzzlers work is because if you add all the numbers from 1 to 8, they add up to 36, which is a perfect square

That's exactly right. So the pieces can all fit together in a 6x6 square.

But then I got to thinking...there are probably other ways of making 36, besides 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8

I'm sure you're right about that, Jeorge!

And that made me think...what about adding up odd numbers?

You mean, like 1 + 3 + 5 + 7?

That's right. Only, if you add in 9 and 11 as well, you come up with 36

So we could take all the odd numbers from 1 to 11 and use them to create a puzzle that's also 6x6!

That's Right! And if you want to see a sample, here's one right here: Jeorge Puzzler

Hey, now. Wait a minute...you're calling this a Jeorge Puzzler?

That's right! Because I invented it! And you can create a Jeorge Puzzler too! Just make sure you use pieces with 1 square, 3 squares, 5 squares, and so on up to 11 squares, and make sure they all fit together into a 6x6 box.

Very nice, Jeorge!
