Well.... if it was in my bank, I would feel very special about it, and I dare say my bank manager would treat my in a very special way!
Am I close?

Slice the square into 4 identical sections that each have a caterpiller and a leaf, except one - she's on a diet again!
Slice the rectangle into two sections so that you could make a square 8x8 without any holes.

...and the answer is?

A rich man's only child was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park. Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger. The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villain.
How did the villain accomplish this?

This is a true story from Taiwan. When the rich man reached the phone booth he found a carrier pigeon in a cage. It had a message attached telling the man to put the diamond in a small bag which was around the pigeon's neck and to release the bird.
When the man did this the police were powerless to follow the bird as it returned across the city to its owner.

This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so
unusual about it? It looks so ordinary that you would think
that nothing is wrong with it at all, and, in
fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why?
If you study it and think about it, you
may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way.
You must do it without any hints or coaching.
No doubt, if you work at it for a bit, it will dawn on you. Who
knows? Go to work and try your skill. Good luck!
