Step 1

We need to connect the railway pieces into a closed loop with no overlapping tracks and no loose ends. The pieces include: - 12 straight pieces - 16 curved pieces (each subtends 45 degrees and can be flipped) - 2 fork pieces (can be flipped) Show more…

A basic wooden railway set contains the pieces shown in Figure 3.32. The task is to connect these pieces into a railway that has no overlapping tracks and no loose ends where a train could run off onto the floor.
