Thanks to Daniel Kim for sharing the first two puzzles with me. He mentioned the earliest reference he knows for the tile puzzles is David and Tomei's AMM article titled "The problem of Calissons."

The idea to include the tetrahedron volume example was based on a conversation with Po Shen Lo about these puzzles, during which he mentioned the case of one dimension lower.

I received the cone correction to the proof of Monge's theorem from Akos Zahorsky via email. Also, the Bulgarian team leader Velian Velikov brought up the same argument, and just shot me a message saying "I came across it in a book I found online titled 'Mathematical Puzzles' by Peter Winkler. There, it is attributed to Nathan Bowler"

I referenced quaternions at the end, and if you're curious to learn more, here are a few options.

This is a nice talk targetted at game developers:
   • Math in Game Development Summit: A Visual ...  

This video walks through concretely what the computation is for using quaternions to compute 3d rotations:
   • How quaternions (4d numbers) visualize 3d ...  

My own video on the topic is mainly focused on understanding what they do up in four dimensions, which is not strictly necessary for using them, but for math nerds like me may be satisfying:
   • Visualizing the 4d numbers Quaternions  

Also, one of the coolest projects I've ever done was a collaboration with Ben Eater to make interactive videos based on that topic:

3blue1brown is a channel about animating math, in all senses of the word animate. If you're reading the bottom of a video description, I'm guessing you're more interested than the average viewer in lessons here.
