Cell Shifts for Heptahexes
Introduction
Two polyhexes can be tiled with copies of the same heptahex.
The polyhexes differ in only one cell.
How near can the unmatched cells lie?
If you can find a shorter shift than is shown here,
or an equal shift with fewer tiles, please let me know.
For hexahexes, see
Cell Shifts for Hexahexes.
For smaller polyhexes, see
Cell Shifts for Polyhexes.
