In the Flowery Kingdom "one soon gets used to being carried around in a sedan chair...". These chairs are made of rattan wicker and remind you very much of those little
Chinese puzzle boxes made of colored straws and so cleverly put together that you cannot discover where they are joined.
All this is suggestive of a clever puzzle, for those sedan chairs will close up to make a covered box when it rains, yet the closest examination will not detect where the pieces are joined.
Here you are asked to cut the chair into the fewest possible pieces which will fit together and form a perfect square.
