Multiple Triangle Tangram Puzzles

The last tricky puzzle type we're going to deal with is the puzzle that has multiple triangles. A puzzle like this has all sorts of angles in it, different cut outs, different pieces going every which way. It's a little bit daunting to see it for the first time, but actually those can be some of the easiest puzzles in the whole game. Here we have a person sitting down with a little hat on, their arms reaching forward. Let's make the head first because it's very obvious. Take your square and one of your small triangles and put them together. Next, place your parallelogram where the arms are because it looks like a parallelogram can go there and nothing really else can do that. All you have left now is one small triangle, the two large triangle, and one medium triangle. So we have this weird, weird shape. Go ahead and put your small triangle in next to the parallelogram connecting with the square. That's kind of a rectangular shape up there so it doesn't seem like anything else can necessarily go there. Three shapes remaining. It wants to trick us, but we won't let it do that. Go ahead and start placing them in ways where they might make that small combination. It looks like the legs might be formed by a big triangle. Go ahead and put that on the bottom, and now you have two shapes left. It's starting to get a little obvious where those might be, so go ahead and place them. Put the large triangle next to your small triangle and put the medium triangle underneath that. It was pretty easy after all. Once you see those patterns you can't possibly fail.
