this is awesome and reminds me of the tiling puzzle from the book Anathem:

http://anathem.wikia.com/wiki/Teglon

or

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

I would love to have a Penrose tiling puzzle set.

I recently stumbled across this old site: http://www.mathpuzzle.com/ctrules.html

I reverse-engineered the tiles in OpenSCAD. Let me know and I'll upload them.

I'm at work right now, but give me a day and I will design that.

Woah, Thanks! Does the AK in your name stand for Alaska? If so, I'm in Anchorage.

No, that's my first initial and last name (A Krumbach).

Anyway, "puzzle" is now available at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KYDTZ2AVWQfWCSACUvfl5gAIHzA...

If I counted correctly, you should be able to make a roughly rectangular shape out of the provided pieces. (Even if I miscalculated, I think they make a good exploration toy for the P2 tiling anyway.)
