Numbers of Polycubes
Let’s define polycubes as three dimensional shapes made up of unit cubes connected by shared faces.

Let’s define polycubes as three dimensional shapes made up of unit cubes connected by shared faces.
Let’s consider tiling square grids using polynominoes of any number of units.
If we separate all tetrominoes according to their perimeters, we would have two groups.
Polynominoes are figures made up of square units connected by edges.
Consider drawing squares using the lattice points in a grid as vertices.
Consider trying to scramble a string of numbers, say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but with the requirement that none of the numbers can end up where they started. Let’s define this as a complete scramble.
We want to flatten the outer shell of a cube without tearing or stretching the surface.
For all questions in this problem, let’s ignore the effects of gravity, which means higher unit cubes can float in space without lower unit cubes to support them.
Let’s say instead of “bisecting” the triangle, we draw a line from the top vertex to the base with a length that is the average of the remaining two sides...
Let’s start with a right triangle with a height of 1 unit and consider two ways of dividing it into two triangles.
