A puzzle version of Interlocking Aperiodic Octopuses

by DaveMakesStuff

Challenge yourself to fill the entire rectangle with the water and octopus tiles.

It's not terribly difficult, but harder than it looks.

Based on the aperiodic shape “The Hat.” https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/hat/

At least 44 water pieces and 5 octopus pieces are needed.

When printed at 50% scale the fit of the pieces is quite tight and requires a bit of sanding.

I think the octopuses look nice painted pink.
