Did You Work It Out? The Solution to Our Riddle from the E-News Issue of November 2014
Divide to the Same Size
Assign an evenly distributed lot size to each of the houses
Divide the lot size area between the four houses so that every house has the same lot size (of course, without moving the houses themselves).
Solution
An L-shaped lot solves the problem!
Simply assign the land in an L-shape to each of the houses. Each homeowner will have the same lot size.
