As far as I know, there is only one other polygon with this property,
namely the polygon I published in my book
"A Puzzling Journey to the Reptiles and Related Animals".
Can you find this polygon?

Dissect a regular triangle into three similar parts (i.e. the parts should have the same shape, but can differ by size).
a. Solve the problem such that the three parts have all the same
size.
b. Solve the problem such that exactly two of the three parts have
the same size.
c. Solve the problem such that the three parts have all different
size.
It turns out that problems a. and c. have been solved thousands of years
ago by the greek scientists,
but part b stayed unsolved until I found the solution as part of my work
on the book "A
Puzzling Journey to the Reptiles
and Related Animals".

There are two solutions (apart from rotations and reflections). Can you find
them?

Tile a regular hexagon into seven similar shapes (i.e. same shapes,
but sizes may vary).
There are four solutions (apart from rotations and reflections). Can you
find them?
