Suggested Strategies
- Identify possible centres.
- Draw around the 'big' bit.
- With just two shapes, 'walk' the smaller around the larger.
- If it is a square-based puzzle with 4-click symmetry, identify a central square.
- If it is a square-based puzzle with 2-click symmetry, identify a central rectangle.
- Count unit squares or triangles for divisibility by the order of rotation. If not divisible by the order, consider shapes with 'holes'.
