41. The island of count Penteviticole
We received the nice story for this competition from Edo Timmermans. Thanks! |
The French count
Penteviticole wants to create a lake with an island in the middle.
Around the lake there will be sloping vineyards, shaped like the 12
pentominoes.
In the lake he wants fish-ponds, again shaped like the pentominoes.
Finally, he wants the island to be covered with rose-gardens, also shaped
like the pentominoes.
Help count Penteviticole by creating two designs, one in which the perimeter
of the island to be as small as possible and another one in which this
perimeter is as large as possible is.
Below, you’ll find an example in which the perimeter equals 50.
