Eight Hexominos plus a Tetromino (Posted on 2016-09-17) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Eight copies of the hexomino below can be placed in a 7x8 rectangle. Find a packing which allows a tetromino to also be placed in the rectangle.

Some Thoughts Variants Comment 2 of 2 |
While trying to solve the given problem I found two other interesting configurations for the heximnos.

1.  The 8 unused spaces do not touch (even at corners)

2.  There is room for a tromino but not a tetromino.
