  • Material:
 Plywood
9 pieces fit into a box with apperently no vacancy leaving one of the outside, but you can manage to put them all in the box by rearranging them.
  • Pieces

9, only one duplicated.

  • Solution

The pieces have the follow sizes:

19x29x44, 19x29x88, 19x58x44, 38x29x44, 19x58x88, 38x29x88, 38x58x44, 38x58x88.

The sum  a volume of 57x57x132 and the box is 58x88x133. The difference happens to be the volume of the duplicated piece, a second copy of the 19x29x44 one.
