12, right?
Yes. That’s how many I counted.
How can you count something that isn’t there?
Behold! The invention of negative numbers.
Assuming they are square tiles, yes. It’s also possible to tile the area with 6 2x1 tiles.
But all the tiles around the hole are squares
More like 4 2×1 tiles:
Those are not 2x1 tiles.
I kept trying to find out why it would be 9. Until I saw the community name.
I’m still confused as to how the original guy came to the conclusion of 9. Like, what was he seeing incorrectly?
I can see how he might have counted 8 but that last one is a mystery.
Even if, because of the angle, you mistook it for being smaller, it’d be 8, not 9.
It’s clearly missing 3 tiles.
