The puzzles are played following simple rules on tiled surfaces using ideas stemming from the math of combinations, shapes and space. In the background, associated to each puzzle is a \u201cpuzzle space\u201d: it is the network you travel in while playing the puzzle. These spaces can be visualized, studied, and have all sorts of interesting properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From simple, to difficult, to potentially impossible, these puzzles allow you to experience the birth of mathematical complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quadratis puzzles were created and brought to life with Paul Turner, Mario Guti\u00e9rrez and Reyna Ju\u00e1rez (see <a
