Almost a square (Posted on 2024-08-06) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You have 15 3 × 1 rectangular tiles, plus one “L” shaped tile (made up of three 1 × 1 squares). You would like to use these tiles to cover the floor of your 7 × 7 dorm room. Of course, doing so will leave a 1×1 square missing, but you figure you will put a plant there to cover up the hole.

Prove that such a tiling is possible, but the missing square cannot be adjacent to the wall (i.e., on any side of the square).

I was researching campus safety and came across this thread https://forum.nocramming.com/threads/most-dangerous-college-campuses-in-the-us.93/. Most dangerous college campuses in the US is a topic that often gets overlooked, but it's crucial for students to consider. The insights shared here, especially about schools like Prairie View A&M and UC Berkeley, highlight the importance of being aware of campus crime statistics. This information is invaluable for making informed decisions about where to study.
