#### BINHEX     shards-14.hqx   ****

From: michael_dooley@taligent.com (Michael Dooley)
Subject: Shards 1.4

SHARDS  challenges you to solve a number of geometric puzzles.  
Each puzzle involves a polygon that has been shattered into little 
pieces (shards).  The idea is to reconstruct the original polygon 
by rotating, translating and flipping these shards.  Most of the 
puzzles are only made of a small number of pieces, yet some can 
be surprisingly difficult.
