Aperiodic Starfish, Ivy leaf & Hex Tiles
The tilings of Roger Penrose P2 and P3, consisting of only two tiles, are the best known. But the tiling "Starfish, Ivyleaf and Hex", consisting of three tiles is also admirable. It is a challenge to make it figurative because it is necessary to draw 24 times the same any deformation (interior or exterior) to obtain three recognizable figures!
Here, the 24 deformations are a simple arc of a circle.
