	Hexomino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As with other polyominoes, rotations and reflections of a hexomino are not considered to be distinct shapes and with this convention, there are thirty-five different hexominoes.
		2 hexominoes (coloured green) have an axis of mirror symmetry at 45° to the gridlines.
		If the hexominoes are placed on a checkerboard pattern, then 11 of the hexominoes will cover an even number of fl squares (either 2 white and 4 fl or vice-versa) and 24 of the hexominoes will cover an odd number of fl squares (3 white and 3 fl).

	Hexomino Constructions
		This requires a sixfold replica of the hexomino to be built with the sextuplicated piece used twice in the solution.
		Here the problem is to create an hexomino construction with a hole of a similar shape.
		The 3x120 is not possible as can be seen from the diagram below where one of the hexominoes must divide the rectangle into two parts neither of which contains a multiple of six squares.

	Primes of the D hexomino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Any rectangle tiled by the D hexomino has one side divisible by 6.
		However it is placed, a D hexomino covers a total of 0.
		It is easy to check that a (6m + 2) × (6n + 3) rectangle can be placed so that it covers a non-zero total, and the same for a (6m + 4) × (6n + 3) rectangle.

	Primes of the Y hexomino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		If the Y hexomino tiles a rectangle with an odd side, then the other side is divisible by 8.
		No matter how it is placed, each Y hexomino covers a total of 2 or -2.
		However, it would be tiled by an even number of Y hexominoes, which would cover a total that is divisible by 4, a contradiction.

	Hexominos
		Hexominos are figures you can form by six squares.
		If you colour a figure alternately fl and white there are 24 "odd" hexominos with three fl and three white squares and 11 "even" hexominos with four fl and two white squares.
		As is in the case of pentominos there are innumerable new figures formed of hexominos.

	Part II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		By statement 1, we need not consider those of the hexominoes, so all the rest of the tetrapleura are projective duals of pentominoes.
		The complete projective duals of the first seven hexominoes on the bottom row have one enclosed, finite region and six edges each (since each of those hexominoes has 1 2x2 square and no holes), and so any incomplete projective duals formed from them must have one edge deleted.
		This raises the number of pentapleura to 49 (28+4+4+4+3+2+2+2), and we still have to consider the incomplete projective duals of the O hexomino.

	Teaching Math: Grades 3-5: Connections
		While sorting hexominos, a group of fifth-graders noticed that three of their hexominos could be folded to make a cube and the others could not.
		Whitney: Well, if it was like our Z-shaped hexomino, they might be harder to cut out and to keep neatly on a shelf before you fold them.
		But most of the hexominos have faces that overlap when you try to make a box, so they don't make a six-sided cube.

		At that time he had followed the life histories of all but one of the pentominoes, all but one of the hexominoes, and all but seven of the heptominoes.
		By now we all know the fate of the notorious R-pentomino which, in its first generation, becomes a hexomino (the one who's fate was unknown to Conway).
		This leaves us with the seven 'unknown' heptominoes shown here which Conway arbitrarily labeled B, C, D, E, F, H, and I. Heptomino B whose first generation appears in the 29th generation of the R-pentomino eventually becomes three blocks, one ship, and two gliders after 148 generations - so its history is known.

		Each type of polyomino is named according to how many squares are used to make it.
		So there are monominoes (1 square only), dominoes (2 squares), triominoes (3 squares), tetrominoes (4 squares), pentominoes (5 squares), hexominoes (6 squares) and so on.
		Though the idea of such shapes has been around in Recreational Mathematics since the beginning of the 1900's, it was not until the latter half of the century that they became as popular as they are today.

		There are only three pentominoes and (probably) one hexomino that are winners:
		Since almost every heptomino (size 7) or larger will contain at least two different hexominoes, and there is only one winning hexomino, it is not too hard to show that all 107 order-7 animals contain a smaller loser and thus are losers themselves.
