Tiling with Rods
The original problem asks for a combination of 1x2 and 1x3 rods that can tile a 5x5 square. Tiling problems have a tendency to get complicated quickly, so let’s start small.
Tiling with Polynominoes
Let’s consider tiling square grids using polynominoes of any number of units.
Tiling with Tetrominoes
Let’s consider tiling square grids with tetrominoes. Pieces can be rotated, reflected, and repeated as needed.
Tiling Strips
Tiling a long and narrow gridded strip with square tiles.
