A General Quadrille Solution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
The problem of arranging dominoes with like numbers in groups of four was proposed by Édouard Lucas. Although Lucas published only symmetrical solutions for the double-six set, generalizations of the problem have led to some interesting results. For the double-six set, it has been shown there are hundreds of shapes meeting the requirement that like numbers appear in groups of four.
