As a Tetris player, it's 2 T-pieces and a line-piece. Each Tetris piece is 4 squares (Tetris = tetra (meaning 4) + Tennis). 3 Tetris pieces times 4 squares each = 12 tiles

Assuming they are square tiles, yes. It's also possible to tile the area with 6 2x1 tiles.

But all the tiles around the hole are squares

Not necessarily, they could be 2x1 rectangles, half dark and half light

More like 4 2×1 tiles:

Yes. That’s how many I counted.

How can you count something that isn’t there?

Just keep imagining another tile until you can't anymore.

But isn’t that how many imaginary tiles there are? Thats not counting the tiles that aren’t there. You’re just deciding the number of imaginary tiles is the same as the missing tiles.

You can see that there are 4 rows where tiles are missing, and you can use the minimum and maximum size of the adjacent tiles in a row to assume how many can fit in each row, because the lines formed by edges WILL all line up. It's all about deciding where the boundaries are.

I kept trying to find out why it would be 9. Until I saw the community name.

I'm still confused as to how the original guy came to the conclusion of 9. Like, what was he seeing incorrectly?

I can see how he might have counted 8 but that last one is a mystery.

Even if, because of the angle, you mistook it for being smaller, it'd be 8, not 9.

Lojcs 1 point 2 years ago

If you see the bottom left as 1 wide instead of 2 it's easy to count 9. I did a couple times before seeing that other comment

It is a joke about the singular person who should be better at counting blocks if they are going to reference their experience with minecraft.

I also think this was someone being intentionally wrong, because giving the experience with minecraft first makes being wrong a punchline.
