Question

What term refers to a single shape that can cover a surface entirely without forming a repetitive pattern?
  • C V Raman Tile
  • Einstein Tile
  • Ramanujan Tile
  • Newton Tile
Answer- B
Mathematicians have recently discovered the Einstein tile, which is a singular shape capable of covering an entire surface without producing a repeated pattern.

The term "Einstein" is a wordplay on the German phrase "ein stein," meaning "one stone." A group of tile types is deemed aperiodic if these tiles' duplicates can only generate non-repetitive patterns.
