- Question:
- =========
- -- What are the prime rectangles for the one-sided
- Y-pentomino (.:..), L-pentomino (:...), and P-pentomino (::.)?
- The case of the L-tetromino is solved.
- Known prime rectangles:
- Y-pentomino: 5*10
- L-pentomino: 2*5
- P-pentomino: 2*5
-
- -- Why is there no 8*5n rectangle tileable with Y-pentominoes?
-
- -- Where are the prime hyperboxes?
- -- Is there anyone interested?
