Galvagni Figures & Reid Figures for Polyhops
Polyhops are Thomas Atkinson's figures made by joining squares in the
plane hopscotch grid.
They are used in Kate Jones's
Hopscotch puzzle.
A Galvagni figure is a figure that can be tiled by a polyform
in more than one way—a kind of self-compatibility figure.
A Reid figure is a Galvagni figure with no holes.
Galvagni figures first appeared in Erich Friedman's
Math Magic
for November 2004.
