Talk:Mathematical tile

Your friendly neighborhood stalker here :p It seems to me that, if possible, images should show at least two of the colors know for these tiles. Circéus (talk) 01:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! Yes, I'll try to get a pic of the cream-coloured ones next time I'm in Brighton (I know where to find some examples).  Red examples will have to wait until my next trip to Lewes, probably.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  12:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Eh, already having two colors would be nice. What I'm worried is mostly that the article suggest Black were not overall the most common, but provides no less that tree examples of them. Circéus (talk) 13:26, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just done a bit of goggling and found out why these tiles are so peculiar. Basically it seems to me the current articles does a poor job to explain the shingle-like organization of Mathematical tiling. I certainly did not understand they overlap before coming across a drawing. Circéus (talk) 19:45, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, fair point; I will try to clarify. (Was this the drawing you found?)   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  21:22, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Circéus (talk) 00:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Etymology
Why are they called mathematical tiles specifically? I don't see any explanation in the article.

Composition?
The article makes very little mention of what mathematical tiles actually are or what they are composed of. Are they wood and what kind of wood exactly? 86.114.207.183 (talk) 06:37, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * They were made of the same materials as "ordinary" tiles (roof tiles, for example) – so baked clay would have been the most likely material for most mathematical tiles. I will try to work that into the article.  Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!)  10:11, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
