Create a 5x5 checkerboard pattern using 5 of the 8 pieces below. You must decide which 5 pieces to choose. You may not use the same piece multiple times. The letters are just names we'll use to refer to the pieces in the hint and answer. You may rotate the pieces, but there is no pattern on the other side, so you can't flip them over. The Hint and Solution tell you how to solve this puzzle in your head (or using scratch paper) without creating the physical puzzle pieces.
