Project Euler Problem 173: https://projecteuler.net/problem=173
|
|
|
|
We shall define a square lamina to be a square outline with a square "hole" so that
|
|
the shape possesses vertical and horizontal symmetry. For example, using exactly
|
|
thirty-two square tiles we can form two different square laminae:
|
|
|
|
With one-hundred tiles, and not necessarily using all of the tiles at one time, it is
|
|
possible to form forty-one different square laminae.
|
|
|
|
Using up to one million tiles how many different square laminae can be formed?
