Polyiamond Tri-Oddities
A polyiamond tri-oddity
is a figure with ternary symmetry formed by some number of copies of
a polyiamond that is not a multiple of three.
Torsten Sillke first studied them in 1996.
Here are the minimal known tri-oddities for polyiamonds of order
up to 6.
Impossible polyiamonds are shown in black.
Please write if you find a smaller solution or solve an unsolved case.

Tri-Oddities.

Some hexiamonds with no known tri-oddities can form tri-oddities
in pairs.
