A basic packing puzzle based on the Squared Square / Squared Rectangle Problem.
I came across this puzzle in a recent Numberphile video (https://youtu.be/NoRjwZomUK0), and I realized it would be incredibly easy to model and print. The puzzle consists of 10 pieces and a frame, with the goal being to fit every piece into the frame with no gaps. It's actually pretty hard, since there is no clear place to start when solving.
All the pieces are labelled by side length, except for the smallest piece (3).
