Description
Mathematicians have been searching to discover a single tile that forms a pattern, but never repeats. It has finally been identified, and it is a 13-sided shape known as “the hat.” Identified by David Smith, a nonprofessional mathematician who describes himself as an “imaginative tinkerer of shapes,” and reported in a paper posted online March 20 at arXiv.org, the hat is a polykite — a bunch of smaller kite shapes stuck together.
