The 'F' Puzzle - is it IMPOSSIBLE? with Dr Gareth and Laura

Join Laura and me as we attempt to complete the challenge of solving the 'F puzzle'. With just 7 pieces, the aim is incredibly simple: assemble a letter 'F'! But can we do it? Not necessarily...!

If you want to have a go yourself, you can download a PDF of the pieces to cut out from this link:
(Note that although I've shaded in the pieces they can be used either side up)

If you want to get your own copy of the puzzle, Laura bought it here:

This video is part of a series in which each week we solve (or attempt to solve!) a puzzle or escape room box - including Unlock, Exit the Game, Escape Room The Game and many others, as well as some great indie escape-room products from Kickstarter and elsewhere too - so please do subscribe to the channel if you would like to join us on this fun adventure!

Please do also comment below - we'd love to know what you think of the video, and whether you have managed to solve the puzzle! Also do please check out the following playlists of my/our various escape-room puzzle solves:

Hey there! After spending a rainy afternoon fiddling with a screenshot of the puzzle (before noticing the very convenient PDF in the description), I think i've found a solution! I will try to describe it:

The large piece fits diagonally, with the right angle facing top right. Right under it, the base of the F is the small "chipped" triangle, with the cut corner facing upwards and the right angle bottom right. The lower arm of the F is one of the big triangles with the right angle bottom right, slotting into the space of the cut triangle. On top of the large piece, place one of the larger chipped triangles, the smallest side facing the top left, and the side with 2 right angles facing the top right. The other cut triangle is placed mirroring the first one, by the side with 2 right angles. The small tiny triangle goes with its right angle in the very top left, and the final triangle completes the top arm, with its right angle pointing bottom right.

Thank you for the videos!
