Full Symmetry from Pairs of Hexiamonds

A hexiamond is a plane figure formed by joining six equal equilateral triangles edge to edge.

Here I show the smallest known polyiamonds with full (snowflake) symmetry that can be formed by copies of two hexiamonds, using at least one of each. If you find a smaller solution or solve the unsolved case, please write.

    • Basic Solutions

    Every pair of hexiamonds has a solution with at most 15 tiles.

    Holeless Variants

    Here I do not show holeless solutions that already appear above.
