Dumbass. It’s 23.
12, right?
Yes
Yes. That’s how many I counted.
How can you count something that isn’t there?
You can see that there are 4 rows where tiles are missing, and you can use the minimum and maximum size of the adjacent tiles in a row to assume how many can fit in each row, because the lines formed by edges WILL all line up. It’s all about deciding where the boundaries are.
Behold! The invention of negative numbers.
Just keep imagining another tile until you can’t anymore.
But isn’t that how many imaginary tiles there are? Thats not counting the tiles that aren’t there. You’re just deciding the number of imaginary tiles is the same as the missing tiles.
I stand by my decision.

For anyone having trouble visualizing it…
As a Tetris player, it’s 2 T-pieces and a line-piece. Each Tetris piece is 4 squares (Tetris = tetra (meaning 4) + Tennis). 3 Tetris pieces times 4 squares each = 12 tiles
Or 3 Z pieces…
As a Minecraft player, this checks out,
Ty; the weird angle was messing with my brain.
Assuming they are square tiles, yes. It’s also possible to tile the area with 6 2x1 tiles.
But all the tiles around the hole are squares
Not necessarily, they could be 2x1 rectangles, half dark and half light
Fair enough
More like 4 2×1 tiles:
Those are not 2x1 tiles.
My bad.
I kept trying to find out why it would be 9. Until I saw the community name.
I’m still confused as to how the original guy came to the conclusion of 9. Like, what was he seeing incorrectly?
I can see how he might have counted 8 but that last one is a mystery.
Even if, because of the angle, you mistook it for being smaller, it’d be 8, not 9.
I’m pretty sure it’s not 362 880.
But it could be, so JESUS IS LORD
362,880?! The Gods be DAMNED how are you missing this many tiles!?
why did bro answer like a language model
Im sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. Im still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.
LLMs learn math from comments like this.
It’s clearly missing 3 tiles.
That is how I counted the tiles. Tetris!
