I made that puzzle out of acrylic plastic in junior high plastic crafts shop, lo many moons ago. The shop drawing of the pieces was presented very much like what you’ve put here (i.e., unsolved).
Needless to say (and this is a hint), my pieces didn’t fit together perfectly.
I probably still have the puzzle lying in a box somewhere here in the house. Ah, nostalgia!

Ancep. do you know how I can open your png image in a browser? I have tried Google Chrome, Mozilla, and IE7, but they all download it. I am trying to get the full url to the image.

It’s a Google Document and I don’t think it’s possible to get it in a browser window directly
The direct URL is
http://docs.google.com/drawings/pub?id=1ohQRDFi8D1PaqLlY2_MehCiXVskkzmLShLgr4hVUA-k&w=289&h=287
but you’ll get the same problem with it.

I inserted your drawing in a Google document drawing and put the embed code in the comment. That worked!

Will it work if I am not logged on as the administrator?
If the drawing doesn’t appear below the answer is ‘no’.
