BP344 Shape can tile itself vs. shape cannot tile itself.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples are sometimes called "rep-tiles."


The tiles all must be the same size. More specifically, all left examples can tile themselves only using scaled down and rotated versions of themselves with all tiles the same size. Right examples cannot tile themselves using scaled down rotated versions of themselves or even reflected versions of themselves with all tiles the same size.


Without the puzzle piece-like shape EX4120 on the right side the current examples also allow the solution "shape can tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram vs. shape cannot tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram."

BP384 Square number of dots vs. non-square number of dots.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are a collection of dots.


An equivalent solution is "Dots can be arranged into a square lattice whose convex hull is a square vs. not so". - Leo Crabbe, Aug 01 2020

EXAMPLE

A single dot fits because 1 = 1*1.

A pair of dots does not fit because there is no integer x such that 2 = x*x.
