The Three Rabbits puzzle is: How can you draw three rabbits, each with two ears, but using only three ears in all? This and related puzzles/pattens have a surprisingly long history which is only now being elucidated. I will show some material from a trip to China to investigate, and I will mention some related puzzles. (Some background about the puzzle at www.threehares.net )
