Denis,
Crumble up the the 17th tile and fill in the gaps. No one said you had to use all of the tiles as they stood.

I'm too cheap to crumble anything, and it'll take a lot more than that to convince me, Ishuda
A customer requires a square patio with area of exactly 6m^2.
Slabs of area .36 m^2 were erroneously calculated as being required.
This makes it obvious that 16 slabs were intended.
6 / 16 = .375.
.36 / .375 = .96, so 4% short.
The original problem strangely asks "what are your conclusions";
mine is "not 2%, but 4%".
I turn that in as answer to that strange problem and I expect 100%
Each side of the square is 2% short - making the area 4% short
No, that question was asked before. It is the area that is 2% wrong.
Oh, I would agree that all of us are fools sometimes.:razz:
