That is another of your odd notions,said the Prefect, who had the fashion of calling everything
oddthat was beyond his comprehension, and thus lived amid an absolute legion of
oddities.
The Purloined Letter
A polyform oddity is a geometric figure with binary symmetry or better, formed by joining an odd number of congruent polyforms. Oddities are also known as Sillke figures, after Torsten Sillke, who first studied them systematically.
This page shows minimal known oddities and similar constructions for various polyforms with various symmetries.
