This unique shape holds a world record as it requires 20 tiles to tile the plane periodically (10 with symmetry). Its intricate fitting pattern offers various combinations but can also create challenges by blocking itself, making it an entertaining puzzle. Discovered through extensive computer searches by Joseph Myers, explore more of these captivating forms at http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jsm28/tiling/. The concept to create physical tiles originated from Chaim Goodman-Strauss (http://www.mathbun.com). Craft your own using acrylic, card, wood, or stone with a preferred cutting tool like a laser water jet or craft equipment on an A4 sheet.
