A bit surprised they didn't mention the story about how when Tetris was being created it was originally going to be with pentominoes instead of tetrominoes, but it was thought to be a bit hard because of the more complex shapes and wider variety compared to tetrominoes. (Also another fun fact: Tetris is a portmanteau of "tetra" (four) and "tennis" which was the creator's favourite sport at the time.)

I know that Tetris is pretty commonplace, but this exact kind of puzzle with pentominoes is the basis for the Game Boy game Daedalian Opus. No dropping pieces - instead, a selection of pentominoes are given for the player to try to fit correctly into the shape provided. Check it out, it's a pretty neat game.

As a Tetris nerd and hobbyist programmer, I tried to play Tetris but with pentominoes. After a bit of practice and tweaking the game to make it more adapted to pentominoes, it turns out you can get the hang of it. Makes me wish we had a new Tetris game but with only pentominoes. -I assume one of the reasons why Alexey Pajitnov downscaled the game to tetrominoes is because the computers in USSR back in the 1980 couldn't possibly handle pentominoes. We're talking 18 pieces of 5 blocks if you keep the mirrored pentominoes as 2 different pieces instead of 7 pieces of 4 blocks. Now that we are able to do this easily,- I think a game based around pentominoes instead of tetrominoes could be a nice tribute to the puzzle that started it all. Edit: I've been told Pajitnov actually did pentoes so I must have misheard/misinterpreted something (my guess is I heard algorithmic complexity when I should have heard gameplay complexity?), my bad on that. My point still stands though.

I'm not aware of a pure pentominoes game like tetris but then new game Puyo Puyo Tetris has a versus mode where someone can activate a "punishment" on the other player that makes all tetrominoes into pentominoes for a short while.
@Oshisaure
@Oshisaure 6 жыл бұрын
It doesn't have all of them though. What it does is turn your next 5 pieces into pentominoes by adding a mino to it, but that means that you only get to see 7 pentominoes in the game. So I guess we're getting somewhere. As for unofficial games however, I'm sure there are probably a few out there, each with their own set of rules. I'll try to come up with something behaving similarly to the recent games (kind of like Puyo Puyo Tetris' pentominoes but for all 18 pieces).

Actually, it's a kind of backwards etymology. Dominoes are named dominoes because of entirely different reason, but Golomb, apparently, chose to read as do-minoes (two-minoes) so he could generalize the name.

The Talos Principle is a video game that uses these puzzles. It's a brilliant Portal-style game where you collect these pieces as rewards for solving each level. Then you have to solve the puzzle to unlock the next levels. It sticks to Tetris shapes only. I found I could solve even the hardest just by moving them randomly without much planning.

I remember we had one of those games as a kid. Every time one of us solved it, we would compare it to other solutions. If it was a new one, we would put a piece of paper over it and rub a pencil over it to keep a record. In the end we had something like 30 solutions, not counting rotations, reflections, and simple swaps (like in the solution given, if you swap the + with the one below it, you get another solution). I doubt we got them all, but still a fun game.

There's a game called Spear's Multipuzzle, which uses all the hexominoes (all the shapes made of six squares). There's a 6 by 10 rectangle to fit ten hexominoes in. Some shapes you get two of, such as a 1x6 straight line. The instructions have 48 combinations telling you which pieces to use and the easy ones show where one or two pieces go. However, on my copy someone wrote in a 49th combination.

Yes, 16146 is correct. There are many polyomino solving computer programs out there, and any of them should be able to verify this within a few minutes of running time (I just did so with my own). There is probably no way to prove this number other than just trying all possibilities like those programs do.

Apparently this puzzle has over 16 thousand different solutions (disregarding rotations and reflections), but I couldn't help but notice that the decision to make the leftover 4 squares into a 2 by 2 tetromino seemed a bit arbitrary. Has anyone ever looked into how the number of solutions is different if the leftover 4 squares are built into a different tetromino?

I have this, but without the 2 x 2 'interloper'. Together they make a 3 x 4 x 5 cuboid.

How many different solutions are there for this puzzle? A friend of mine and I worked out that a similar 3D puzzle had 110 independent ones, so I'm guessing this one must have more than one...

There are 16146 rotationally unique solutions to this puzzle. If you constrain the 2x2 tetromino to the center of the solution, then there are 65 unique solutions.

I have that puzzle in my cupboard somewhere. I got it decades ago when I was a wee bairn. It's blue and plastic. I could put it together with my eyes closed.

There are actually 16146 ways how to solve it, and I am not counting rotations and mirror images, with them it would be 129168 solutions!

I am reading in the comments that there are 16,146 solutions to the puzzle. So how many ways are there to fill a rectangle (either 5x4 or 2x10) with the five tetraminoes?
