Solving the Wave 5 by Yuu Asaka – a Puzzle with Only 5 Pieces!!

Welcome back! Today’s puzzle is Wave 5 by Yuu Asaka, a packing puzzle by one of the greatest puzzle masterminds.

Jigsaw 19 and Jigsaw 29 are two ingenious puzzles by the even more ingenious Yuu Asaka.

These two hardest jigsaws in the world are without any doubt, among the coolest packing puzzles I ever solved.

2D packing puzzles always daunted me.

There’s something terrifying about having really simple shapes not fit inside a simple frame.

Most people are comfortable with simplicity – but in puzzles???

Simplicity can be DISTURBING.
