it intuitively feels impossible because it sounds like the definition of "can pass through itself" is really "has at least one orientation where all of the sides of one instance are at most as long as all of the sides of the other instance" and then however you define an orientation an instance of a shape in orientation X should be able to pass through an instance of the same shape and size in the same orientation
The criteria is "pass through itself without cutting in half". Presumably that extends to "without deleting the object entirely", which is what would happen to pass through in the same orientation.

A soccer ball is a sphere. It has decorative polygons projected onto its spherical surface, but having a color scheme doesn't stop it from being a sphere.
Yes, and when you think of it that way, it sounds like a partial ordering with a base case. If angle A can pass through angle B, and angle B can pass through angle C…
