They would fit together perfectly, but they can never be joined.
only if one of them manages to flip in the third dimension, which shouldn’t be possible in a two dimensional world. everything else will be able to be solved by translations and rotations (assuming there is enough room to move around)edit: oh, I get it now. they wouldn’t be able to snap together because the noses are thicker than the holes they need to get into. duh
Thank you. I also didn’t follow.
Finally, some good shower thoughts
Well, if material is flexible enough they could…
I thought you make, like bendable. Then I realized, you meant, like a buttplug.
Being a 3-dimensional being I was only able to make sense of this by imagining what a 3D puzzle piece would look like.
This is of course a lie to make myself sound clever… it was the buttplug analogy that made it all snap into place for me.
Wh…why is there lube on my puzzle? ಠ_ಠ
Do 4D beings have 3D puzzles that would have the same issue for us? 🤔
Imagine how awful surgery must seem to them. It would be so easy for them to remove a tumor or ruptured pancreas, but for us it involves basically butchery.
If a four dimensional world exists, and if there are intelligent beings there, I would imagine so, yes.
Every four dimensional puzzle is a time worm of puzzle pieces in a box and a fully assembled puzzle and everything in between.
They would have to cut an extremity in three pieces, slide them inside the other puzzle piece, and glue everything up
