I was reading through Martin Gardener's book Origami, Eleusis, and the Soma Cube where he described a plastic math puzzle consisting of two pieces that you have to put together to form a tetrahedron and thought it sounded like fun. He kindly gives a pattern so one may be cut out of paper:
Your challenge is to print out two of these patterns on thick paper, make the pieces and put them together to make a tetrahedron.
A pdf of the pattern is available here.
