[fall four comer squares are covered then there must be at least two cases of an H comer with an adjacent V corner. Each such combination produces a non-comer square which cannot be covered e.g. the second square inom the right on the top row of the diagram, If only three commer squares are covered, there must again be at least one Hf comer with an adjacent V comer and therefore a non-comer square uncovered, as well as the uncovered fourth corner. In both cases, at least two squares are uncovered, which means that it is impossible to fit six T shapes into the square. As 00 is the reflection of OF in OM, 200M = £POM; similar'y, ZRON = £PON. Hence reflex 4QOR = 2x ZMON = 260°. Therefore ZQOR = 360° — 260° = 100°. As each interice angle of the polygon is a whole number of degrees, the same ‘must apply to each exterior angle.
