June 23, 2023 - I mean: I think the reason why the aperiodic set consisting of a single element is called "einstein" (instead of "aperiodic singleton" or whatever) is because the person who named this problem noticed that "one tile" was quite close to the literal meaning of the name of the famous scientist Albert Einstein, so they thought it would be funny to also call it the "einstein problem".

400 piece puzzle of Einstein tile pieces. Not sure if my solution is the unique solution because from my understanding, there are subtle rules to follow to create the tiling.
Having fun, albeit painful, solving this without looking at the solution!

I made the same thing when the aperiodic monotile made the news, it is surprisingly difficult. Keep in mind the actual shape is copyrighted by the authors, you can get in trouble trying to sell this for money.

Neat work! It would be nice in a version 2 if there was a way to solve it other than brute force / guessing... some subtle indicator maybe.

r/crafts on Reddit: How to cut irregular ceramic tile shapes?
March 2, 2024 -
My boyfriend's 28th birthday is coming up and I want to make him a ceramic chess board, but also use a special shape called an Einstein tile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_problem) to tesselate the borders of the chess board. I bought largeish (15cm x 15cm, 4mm thickness) tile and thought I could use a handheld tile cutter to cut square pieces for the squares of the chess board and "kites" for the Einstein tile. I'm able to cut the tile but definitely not with the precision I would want to make the shapes I want.
Now I could easily abandon these large tiles and buy 1cm by 1cm square ceramic tiles for the square pieces, but then I'd run into the same problem of not being to make the special Einstein tiles.
Do any other diy-crafters know of a good and inexpensive way to cut ceramic tile with relative precision? Was thinking of buying a tile cutter like this (https://www.biltema.fi/en-fi/construction/tiling/tile-cutters/tile-cutter-pro-600-mm-2000042800) but not sure it'd help me produce the shape I want. I am not a crafty person at all but I really want to make this gift for him because I know he would appreciate it a lot. Any advice would be appreciated thanks <3
