#TilingTuesday ⚠️ New shape just dropped - eS_II
(ðat's just how it's called, if we just believe),
as u can clearly 🙃 see it is made from regular 9gons & irregular 🔯 to fill ðe gaps(or 6gons + irregular 3gons)
Back in my blog's first year, I asked if it was possible to make a certain tiling of a pair of tetromino sets with a monomino hole such that the edges of the polyominoes could be tiled by the 16 tetrasticks. At #G4G15, William Waite gave me a puzzle using both polyominoes and polyedges that he said was inspired by a conversation we'd had about the possibility of a combined polyedge/polyomino tiling puzzle. (That puzzle uses a simpler and easier to tile set of pieces.)
Lately, I've been realizing that Jaap Scherphuis' PolySolver is capable of solving a lot of problems I didn't have another way to solve, so I tried it on this one. It turns out that there is a unique solution! (Unfortunately, no solution with the monomino in the center, as I'd hoped.)
Central panel from tessellated floor of a Roman Villa, Ancient Corinth, Greece
In the corners of the panel, kantharoi with ivy. In the center, the head of Dionysos with fruit and ivy in his hair. 2nd half of the 2nd c. 3rd c. A.C.
Part of this is the pizza problem I posted about previously, but I thought the crusty pizza metaphor was a little too cheesy. The polyiamond result is new though.

For many reasons, this week has been especially unpleasant for me; I'd like to recover some of the feeling of living in a universe that's capable of ✨Beauty✨ (the capital/emojis aren't necessary, but they help).
If you have a moment, please respond with your favorite X that gives you what you judge to be an analogous feeling, and an explanation of what's cool about it.
Suggestions that have worked for me before:
beautiful theorems, proofs, or visualizations/intuitions;
neuro-spicy special interests;
scientific discoveries (all fields: fundamental physics to animal behavior);
clever puzzle solutions;
a historical event that's happy for more than just bigots;
a difficult to translate word or phrase and some of the best ways it can be used;
an unusual grammatical feature of some language you know (of) or culture you're a part of that just makes sense.
Things you just think are neat and what you like about them.
Thanks to the people who responded plus a little searching through this bot's posts ( https://mastodon.social/@trendytoots ) I have extended the list. Please feel free to respond with any more you know and can comfortably share, maybe with a description of what it's for, and a suggestion for what to call this kind of practice (or maybe it has an official name?). I'd really love to see examples from a broader variety of languages!
Note: if I'm bothering the people who use these hashtags, please let me know! I can remove the "#" or the whole hashtag from the list
