BP323

Jigsaw puzzle pieces can be assembled into a square vs. jigsaw puzzle pieces cannot be assembled into a square.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`Although it takes time to check each individual example, the right answer is likely the first thing a person would think of upon seeing this.`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP318 BP319 BP320 BP321 BP322 * BP324 BP325 BP326 BP327 BP328`

BP335

Tessellates the plane vs. does not tessellate the plane.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`EX7152 is an example of a shape than can be stretched in such a way that it no longer tessellates the plane. This is a property that is only exhibited by shapes that tessellate with rotated copies of themselves. - Leo Crabbe, Mar 05 2021`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP330 BP331 BP332 BP333 BP334 * BP336 BP337 BP338 BP339 BP340`

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."`
	CROSSREFS	`See BP532 for a version with fractals.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP339 BP340 BP341 BP342 BP343 * BP345 BP346 BP347 BP348 BP349`
	EXAMPLE	`Go to https://oebp.org/files/yet.png for an illustration of how some left-sorted shapes tile themselves.`

Self-tiling fractal using one size of tile vs. does not tile itself with a single size of itself.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	CROSSREFS	`This is BP344 ("rep-tiles") but for fractals.` `See BP1119 for the version with multiple different sizes of tile allowed.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP527 BP528 BP529 BP530 BP531 * BP533 BP534 BP535 BP536 BP537`
