They would fit together perfectly, but they can never be joined.
only if one of them manages to flip in the third dimension, which shouldn’t be possible in a two dimensional world. everything else will be able to be solved by translations and rotations (assuming there is enough room to move around)edit: oh, I get it now. they wouldn’t be able to snap together because the noses are thicker than the holes they need to get into. duh
Thank you. I also didn’t follow.
Finally, some good shower thoughts
Well, if material is flexible enough they could…
I thought you meant, like bendable. Then I realized, you meant, like a buttplug.
Wh…why is there lube on my puzzle? ಠ_ಠ
Being a 3-dimensional being I was only able to make sense of this by imagining what a 3D puzzle piece would look like.
This is of course a lie to make myself sound clever… it was the buttplug analogy that made it all snap into place for me.
Do 4D beings have 3D puzzles that would have the same issue for us? 🤔
Imagine how awful surgery must seem to them. It would be so easy for them to remove a tumor or ruptured pancreas, but for us it involves basically butchery.
If a four dimensional world exists, and if there are intelligent beings there, I would imagine so, yes.
Every four dimensional puzzle is a time worm of puzzle pieces in a box and a fully assembled puzzle and everything in between.
They would have to cut an extremity in three pieces, slide them inside the other puzzle piece, and glue everything up
