What is the smallest polyomino that contains all polyominos of size n?
For n = 4, there is a unique size 6 polyomino that works: OOOO OO
XX XXXX
also works. it is clear that size 6 is the smallest possible, because the square tetromino and the straight one can overlap in at most two squares.
No, OO OO won't fit in that one. ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
