For the MAA, I've been putting various columns together. You can see the current list of them at http://www.maa.org/news/mathgames.html . My latest column is on Square Packings, with an emphasis on Mrs. Perkins's Quilt. The column is at http://www.maa.org/editorial/mathgames/mathgames_12_01_03.html . One of the fun parts of the article was discussing the "state of the art" with Richard Guy. He improved 4 solutions with a bit of hand analysis. I haven't seen http://www.squaring.net/ mentioned here, yet. It's an excellent resource. --Ed Pegg Jr, www.mathpuzzle.com
