Re:Pentagon Tiling Proof Solves Century-Old Math Problem on Tuesday July 11, 2017 @05:37PM (#14748314)
The tiles in an aperiodic tiling must guarantee that the tiling is not periodic simply by their shape.

All three of the Scheme examples can be tiled periodically even though they aren't tiled periodically in the examples. How to tile them periodically is left as an exercise to the reader, but it's not hard.
