Problem
Tiles 
and 
are translated so one tile coincides with each of the rectangles 
and 
. In the final arrangement, the two numbers on any side common to two adjacent tiles must be the same. Which of the tiles is translated to Rectangle 
?

cannot be determined
Solution
We first notice that tile III has a 
on the bottom and a 
on the right side. Since no other tile has a or a , Tile III must be in rectangle . Tile III also has a 
on the left, so Tile IV must be in Rectangle .
The answer is
