#328170 Blind man's jigsaw puzzle

Posted by superprismatic on 11 February 2013 - 02:41 AM

Spoiler for my simulation results

A matrix showing the expected number of draws necessary to complete an
n by m (n,m<11) blind jigsaw using 1,000,000 iterations for each (n,m):

001.00 002.00 003.67 006.00 009.00 012.66 017.01 022.00 027.67 033.99

I wrote a program to exhaust over all possible ways to tile the grid in the manner described in the puzzle.

Spoiler for tiling the grid

There is only one way to fit the 9 different types of window cards into the grid such that each kind of card is in the grid exactly twice. If we number the window cards from 1 through 9 (reading each line of cards in the OP from left to right and reading the lines from top to bottom), replacing the grid letters with the number of the window card covering each of them, and indicating the framed rabbits with *, we get:

4*4444999222*22666
444444999222222666
4444449*9222222666
6663*399988888*666
6663339998888886*6
666333999888888666
666333777777*88333
6*6333777777888333
666333777*77888333
999999111555888333
99*999111555888333
9999991115558883*3
4*444411155577*777
44444411155*777777
444444*11555777777
5555*5222222111111
555555222222111111
55555522*22211111*

When I look at the cutouts, I see nothing but gibberish. Perhaps some left-brain shenanigans are required at this point.
