I cut the 6×10 out of paper and have been unable to make any other rectangles. Reading the Wikipedia page where you got that graphic it turns out there are only 2 solutions to the 3×20 (both of which use the same pieces). At least one piece in the 6×10 (e.g. L piece) is the mirror of the one in the 3×20 which means that it is impossible to use the pieces in the 6×10 to make a 3×20.

So I am pretty sure the only way to do it is to start with the 3×20 pieces, which you have done. Was that coincidence or deliberate?

Just coincidence! I don't really expect you to solve this btw. Although it would be nice :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
