Back in the 1980's (and well within the purview of this newsgroup) there was an article in BYTE magazine on solving a pentomino puzzle The article contained a 6502 assembly language program for solving the exact puzzle mentioned. Can anyone point me to which issue of BYTE contained this article??? A pentomino (or 5-omino) is a polyomino of order 5, that is, a polygon in the plane made of 5 equal-sized squares connected edge-to-edge. ... When reflections are considered distinct, there are 18 one-sided pentominoes. When rotations are also considered distinct, there are 63 fixed pentominoes. I've done a lot of Googling to no avail... I'm hoping that someone here recalls this magazine article! -- numerist at aquaporin4 dot com
