The Snowflake puzzle consists of ten pieces totaling 37 hexagons. A plastic set was sold commercially that came with a ten-page instruction booklet.

There are three ways that three hexagons can be joined and seven ways that four can be joined. The resulting ten pieces assemble into various shapes having regular symmetry and many other non-symmetrical shapes.
