How to play
Find all the unique shapes you can make using all 5 squares.
Remember, the edges of each square must join other squares perfectly and all of the shapes you make must be different. That means that 2 shapes are considered the same if one can be fitted exactly on top of the other, even if you have to turn it around or turn it over.
Record the shapes you made.
