Sumo In Blanket - A Puzzle

Sumo is sleepy, but the night is cold, and all he has to keep him warm is a teeny tiny blanket!  In order to snooze soundly, his board must be completely covered by the bag on all sides. Can you find a way to tuck him in? Be gentle. No undue force is required.

Originally called "Square in Bag," this geometric packing challenge was created by Japanese mathematics writer and award-winning puzzle inventor, Iwahiro (Hirokazu Iwasawa). Now, reimagined as a whimsical fairy tale made of fabric and bamboo. With only two pieces and a simple goal, Sumo in Blanket may appear to be an easy solve, but looks can be deceiving.

Each puzzle includes a 5" square bamboo board and a hand-sewn blanket (bag) from vintage Japanese fabric of a random design.

Box measures 4.25 x 4.25 inches.
