  Is Simon Tatham’s site still online? It would not respond when I clicked the link.

  The day Paul Bourke’s site goes offline is the day the internet dies. Only slightly kidding: I read it as a teenager and yet it’s still there providing solid code and answers. https://paulbourke.net/miscellaneous/interpolation/ is still there as I read it in 2001.

  In Anathem, which Penrose tiling was the Teglon?

  I have, a bit too late, realized there are more tilings than I thought.

  If you want something truly diabolical, attempt to tile your bathroom with either of those patterns (yes, these tile shapes can be bought).

    Assuming you have a tile cutter for when you hit the walls, why is this diabolical? It sounds enormous fun.

    Famously where Penrose got the idea from in the first place.
