Pentomino solver in python
When I was a child, I used to play the Ubongo board game. Recently I discovered the Pentomino puzzle and I wanted to create a custom solver for it in Python.
Here is my code:

Well now, would you look at that?
A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Do you take your work home with you? It's kinda hard to avoid if you are a mathematician. The maths just follows you wherever you go.

Once we ran out of candy - which was way faster than expected, I'd say 9 out of 10 trick-or-treaters were elated to have origami paper. The rest were happy with rocks. One group needed to see a noperthedron
There was an occasional fidget toy or math toy coming of the printer that went out as well

Mathematician Karl Weierstrass was born #OTD, Halloween, in 1815. 🧪 🎃
The fools at The Academy all said he was mad, but he showed them all in 1872 when he announced that he had created a MONSTER. Let's learn about the terrible thing he did.

Seems like a reasonable math art abstraction to play with in air dry clay and acrylic paints.
also - I think the pentominoes I sketched in a spreadsheet are the "minimum moves of squares" pentominoes. If you start with "I" anyway.
