Tessellating the Hardy-Ramanujan Taxicab Number, 1729, Bedrock of Integer Sequence A198775.
Here is Trefoil Lattice Labyrinth (32,15). There’s something rather special about it. According to the celebrated story, the English mathematician G.H.Hardy arrived at the hospital bedside of his Indian protege ( the autodidact mathematical genius) Srinivasa Ramanujan in London taxi … Continue reading
Tiptoe tentatively into tessellated 2017
HURRAH! 2017 is the first tessellatable year since 2011, either on the square or on the triangular lattice. To start with the last but best image I’ve found: This shows symmetry axes and six supertiles of Trefoil Lattice Labyrinth (41,7), … Continue reading

Mike’s 1994 Serpentine Labyrinth
After another extended struggle, I can reveal a construction of Serpentine Lattice Labyrinth (37,25), which has the desired repeat unit of 1994 squares, made up of two supertiles at right-angles to one another, and each comprising 997 squares. Finding this … Continue reading
Star Lattice Labyrinth (60,27) for Oliver and all 1983’ers
Onward to the true 1983 tessellation: Star Lattice Labyrinth (60,27). This can be constructed by dividing the 11,898-triangled supertiles of Honeycomb Lattice Labyrinth (60,27) into six 1983-triangled Star supertiles in the six different orientations. Although the constructor of the Giant’s … Continue reading
Great Triangular Tessellations!
Birthdate Years that may be Supertile areas of Trefoil or Honeycomb Labyrinths Trefoil Labyrinths have supertitle area, S = (e2 + ef + f2), so we are looking for e and f that give (e2 + ef + f2) equal … Continue reading
