Rolling Box Puzzles
Nearly all match boxes are a
rather special shape.
If you place a match box on
the Rolling Box Grid it can
cover 2, 3 or 6 squares
depending on which way you place it.

(Even today’s England Glory
boxes do this approximately)
The match box can also be
rolled about on the grid. Start with
the box flat and mark the top
left hand corner. Roll it over on
edge four times it will end
the same way up as it started with
the mark still in the top
left corner.
Now look at these puzzles. In
each puzzle you have to roll the box
from the start position S to
the finish position F. By the way you
must not roll off the grid.
