Multiple Compatibility for Polyominoes

Introduction

A set of polyforms is compatible if there exists a figure that each of them can tile. Here are minimal figures that can be tiled by a given number of n-ominoes. Most are taken from Jorge Luis Mireles's defunct site Poly²ominoes. If you find a smaller solution or one that can be tiled by more n-ominoes, please write.

For arbitrary sets of three pentominoes, see Livio Zucca's Triple Pentominoes. For arbitrary sets of four pentominoes, see Quadruple Pentominoes.

For other polyforms, see Multiple Compatibility for Polyiamonds and Multiple Compatibility for Polyhexes.
