Question:
What is a hexomino and how many different shapes are possible?

Hi Tom,

The best reference I could find was to polyominos. The number of hexominos is 35. This reference has a list of the 12 possible pentomino but It doesn't have the 35 hexominos. I did find a diagram containing the 35 hexominos at http://members.aol.com/wgreview/hexomino.html
