Sam Loyd might have called this a ‘pretty puzzle’. I don’t know where it comes from, but it’s one of my favourites.

All you have to do is arrange these three pictures to produce two identical pictures of a horse and rider.

If you click on the picture, you’ll get a larger version that you can print and cut out. The lines themselves don’t figure into the solution — they’re just there to show you where to cut.

You don’t have to tear or fold any of the pieces of paper. At least, the solution doesn’t rely on those kinds of tactics. It’s really quite straightforward.

Keep at it!

UPDATE: Found the source of the puzzle! It appears there’s a patent for it. Check out the original drawings here.
