We have an 8x8 square board with one block being painted green, while all the others are red. We cut this board into pieces in such a way, so as to be able to reassemble the board from these pieces and reposition the green square to any of the 64 positions of the new board. How many pieces do we need at minimum and of what shape?

It must be a combination of pieces with number of blocks divisible by 3.

It must be cut into 3 pieces.First one L shaped with each side 8 blocks and width 4 blocks. Second one also L shaped 4x4x2 size. The green block will be in the third piece which is a square of 2x2.
