    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentomino

    The 12 pentominoes can form 18 different shapes, with 6 of them (the chiral pentominoes) being mirrored. Derived from the Greek word for ' 5 ', and "domino", 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 rotations and reflections are not considered ...
