Really interesting problem in recreational mathematics - try to reverse a unit line segment via translations/rotations - but in doing so sweep out a minimal area.
PI/4 is the obvious minimum - but it turns out you can do so in an arbitrarily small area.
What's odd to me, is that any combinations of moves that are either a) rotations about the center and b) translations, CAN NOT achieve an area less than PI/4; so it's counter-intuitive that you can do better than that.

Custom wooden jigsawa puzzles
1 FaverViewed: 6 TimesQuoted: Michele Wilson wooden jigsaw puzzles are handcut along color lines by highly qualified artisans. This gives the amateur even more difficulty and pleasure in building the jigsaw puzzle. Once ready, the jigsaw puzzle is thus very decorative.
