Solving the 9-Piece Pagoda Puzzle (Chinese Pyramid)

Pieces

• 1 large square (base)
• 4 medium rectangles (walls)
• 4 small triangles (roof)

Steps

1. Base: Place square flat.
2. Walls: Stand rectangles around square, long edges out, forming a box.
3. Roof: Set triangles on top of walls, bases aligned with wall tops, points meeting at center.

Tips

• Pieces fit only one way — examine shapes.
• Rotate/flip if stuck.
• Build methodically: base → walls → roof.

Result: a neat pyramid/pagoda. Want a visual guide?
