@sl2c @bengineer8u Ah yes, quite right you are. 6R with 1dof is the one that doesn't fit the mobility criterion.

Here's a fun little kinematic toy that's easy to make - an equilateral orthogonal hexagon linkage with 1 degree of freedom:

@dodecahedra Interesting to see which of those you chose match the best known solutions for the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_p… (the 'equivalent polyhedra' in the table there are for N vertices, so you'd need to take the duals for N faces)

Not even going to tell you how much time I spent trying to come up with the iconic shape with n sides while repeating as little as possible.

This clock makes no sense. Let's fix it! 1. Sphere 2. Circular cone 3. Circular cylinder 4. Tetrahedron 5. Triangular prism 6. Cube 7. Szilassi polyhedron 8. Octahedron 9. Obelisk 10. Square antiprism 11. Elongated pentagonal pyramid 12. Dodecahedron (From @ihartblair)

@alytile Is the tape genuinely aperiodic or is there a finite section which repeats with a seem? (Or does an aperiodic space filling tiling contain a periodic strip?)

@hamish_todd This all started many years ago (flickr.com/photos/32q2/49…) with thinking about the equivalent of a loxodrome in one dimension up. A Hopf link does make the most direct analogue for the 2 poles, with the surface twisting from one to the opposite one through the 3 sphere.

@bennywahwah Not exclusively. 3 parts Real + 1 part Imaginary. Just the real part would look like this

@alytile Number 2 there doesn't connect up across adjacent tiles. If connecting midpoints, and we want closed curves, I believe we need to include either all the red pts below, all the green points, or all of both.

@alytile Oh that's nice. I hadn't looked at patterns on the turtle yet. It seems there are several possibilities for connecting tangent arcs across the long edges

@apgox Interesting. Here's a larger patch with this double-kite orientation colouring

The Smith-Myers-Kaplan-Strauss monotile is composed of four double-kites. Colouring each double-kite either yellow or green depending on the parity of its orientation, each monotile is half-green and half-yellow; this induces a balanced yellow/green pattern on the hexagonal grid:

@TylerGlaiel Also - i'd be interested to see if my solution fits in your tray! I think the main issue isn't just size tolerance, it's the corners, which we can't optimize much. I've been thinking of getting it cut out of metal, but sharp corners might be hard on the fingers anyway.

今朝ビックニュースが飛び込んできました。ついに数学のアインシュタイン問題が解かたというのです。第一発見者のDave Smithさんはアーティストティックにテセレーションを探究する同志です。非周期にしか敷きつめられない不思議なタイルを自分でも理解しようと描いたが下のフラクタルタイルの図です
