    The five polyominoes suggested by me fit into all of the larger 16 patterns in the main frame. Will upload configurations in due time. Fitting the same five to those at the bottom (and elsewhere) ought to take some time! Are all of them needed?

     

    What do you mean elsewhere?

    These 5 work for many tested shapes, but not all have been evaluated yet!Provisional.jpg.04a59bd0591867c70953584f970029a8.jpg

    An archaeological artifact is depicting figures of some natural and artificial objects like the sun, moon, comet, star, flower, horse, bird , insect, headdress, mountains, river, house, weapons, bonfire and necklace. The translation of the symbol messages below is "WIND, RAIN, FLAME, SOIL, ESSENCE". According to experts, there are 5 polyominoes tiles that were used as patterns for making the outline of the figures in this artwork. They discovered that these 5 tiles altogether should fill and fit in any of the 16 figures depicted above. What are these polyominoes?

    Zero.  No illegal moves need be made.
    It is possible that the white pieces began at the top.  Two pawns on each side advanced to permit each individual piece to move in legal fashion out of their starting places to their mirrored locations, that is other than the King and Queen which would swap their final mirrored positions. No captures needed to be made, and each King can avoid moving into check while it journeys to its "final" locations. Finally, the remaining pawns may be advanced to their "final" positions.
    What might be asked is what are the minimum number of legal moves to arrive at the position?

    If given that only pawns were moved, all captures were removed, no new pieces were added to the board, and the physical laws were not teased, then the minimum number of illegal moves would be eight. Eight of the pawn could have simply been "hopped" over the pawns into their "final" locations.

    What might be  the minimum number of legal moves to arrive at the position? Start by exchanging the rooks and knights ( i.e. 20 moves for both players then 20 moves more)

    The selected 3 words counts  may balance  the number of word  "the" in the collections of written language (in this case-English corpus).

    Rank is determined by the frequency they appeared. The words  "a" & "is"  has high ranks but were looking for the right ones.

    one, only

    Not for a sentence..but nearest probable counts of the words (statistical distribution) and so not necessarily exact values for both sides  of the equation. In Wikipedia.."the" ranks #1  while "and" ranks#3.
