The “Bitten Biscuits” Puzzle: Can You Figure Out How to Arrange These Three Pieces to Form a Symmetrical Shape?

As designers we’re supposed to be good with geometry, so let’s see if you can figure this out. From puzzle designer Jin-hoo Ahn comes this three-piece one called “Bitten Biscuits,” which won a Jury Honorable Mention at the IPP Design Competition (International Puzzle Party) in Kyoto, Japan in 2016:

The idea is that you can arrange these three pieces in such a way as to create a symmetrical shape. (Actually there are two possible symmetrical shapes.) Do you think you can do it?

Obviously you could trace the images above using software and play with them that way. But if you’d like to support Ahn’s work, the puzzles are for sale here ($10 for the acrylic version, $17 for wood).

If you can’t figure it out, a YouTube puzzle channel (is there anything that doesn’t have a channel on YouTube) breaks it down for you below:
