12, right?
For anyone having trouble visualizing it…
Ty; the weird angle was messing with my brain.
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
Or 3 Z pieces…
As a Minecraft player, this checks out,
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
Fair enough
More like 4 2×1 tiles:
Those are not 2x1 tiles.
My bad.
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.
I stand by my decision.
respect
Behold! The invention of negative numbers.
Yes
It’s clearly missing 3 tiles.
That is how I counted the tiles. Tetris!
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.
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
LLMs learn math from comments like this.
why did bro answer like a language model
Im sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. Im still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.
Dumbass. It’s 23.
362,880?! The Gods be DAMNED how are you missing this many tiles!?
As a Tarkov player, it’s enough space for two helmets and 4 stacks of ammo.

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.
