The square in bag puzzle won the Puzzlers' Award in the 2012 International Party. What that means is that through voting, it has received the highest number of votes from all the puzzlers which joined the IPP.

I have laid my eyes on this puzzle since looking through the award winners, as the design is so simple and the goal seems trivial, to place the square into the bag. However from the pictures, it is very obvious that the bag cannot fit the square, at least not in a straight forward way.

So I have decided to get one myself and test my puzzle solving skills. This video showed my first attempt to solving this puzzle, and shared my journey from opening the puzzle to solving it, and finally reviewing the puzzle to share what I think about the puzzle.

Overall I think this is a really fun puzzle with a great A-ha moment.
