OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Conway's puzzle is a packing problem using rectangular blocks, named after its inventor, mathematician John Conway. It calls for packing thirteen 1 x 2 x 4 blocks, one 2 x 2 x 2 block, one 1 x 2 x 2 block, and three 1 x 1 x 3 blocks into a 5 x 5 x 5 box.The solution of the Conway puzzle is straightforward when one realizes that the three 1 x 1 x 3 blocks need to be placed so that precisely one of them appears in each 5 x 5 x 1 slice of the cube. Packing problems are one area where mathematics meets puzzles (recreational mathematics). Many of these problems stem from real-life problems with packing items.
