[edit] Inappropriate medium

There is a subdivisiong into two subsets of six pentominos which each have a 6×5 solution. This provides eight 6×10 solutions, and also eight solutions of 5×12.

"I know something that you don't, nananananana!" Instead of mentioning the existence of these solutions in text, without giving any hint as to what they are, it would be so much better to show a picture! I'll put it on my to-do list.

O well, Patrick seems to consider this 'his' article and is prepared to start a revert war, so I won't waste my time here.

It is not at all my article, I only reverted some odd deletions.--Patrick 22:28, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

(With the solution shown, the other one is obtained by rotating a set of seven pentominoes, or put differently, by rotating the four leftmost and the rightmost to the other side.)

We are not trying to list the solutions exhaustively here. If you insist on including this, show a picture instead of describing a picture in text.

…but including rotation and reflection of a subset of pentominoes (sometimes this is possible and provides in a simple way an additional solution; e.g., with the 3×20 solution shown, the other one is obtained by rotating a set of seven pentominoes, or put differently, by rotating the four leftmost and the rightmost to the other side).

A picture is worth more than a thousand words here.

[edit] 3D

I added 3 demention part. I am sure the solutions I posted are not in good format. However, I cannot find good way to show 3d object on screen. Can anybody help? AIEA 16:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

   A PENTOMINO EVEN LOOKS LIKE THE LETTER THAT YOU PUT BY IT. LIKE HE LETTER L. THEY DRAWED A PENTOMINO THAT LOOKS LIKE THE LETTER L.
