Puzzle description:

The problem of polyomino rectification is to fill a rectangle with copies of a single polyomino. For some of the polyominoes the solution with the mininmal number of pieces needs a quite large rectangle and is surprisingly difficult.

For the G-hexomino considered here the minimal rectangle has size 9x12 and consists of 18 identical G-hexominoes.

Each hexomino consists of six cubies. So you also can try to built cuboids. Try to fill the following boxes:

• 3x3x8
• 3x4x5, 3x4x6, 4x4x7

More boxes you can find at https://www.math.uni-bielefeld.de/~sillke/PENTA/qu6-G.

Puzzle difficulty:

The 9x12 rectangle is of medium difficulty.

If you do not succeed immediately, the tray contains a spare place for one hexomino.

Printing instructions:

Print the tray and 18 pieces of the G-hexomino.

Prints are fine with no supports.

I printed the puzzle in PLA at 0.1 mm layer height.
