Potato printing plot party postcards
A postcard designed for the 2025 plotter postcard exchange #ptpx based on 'Potato Printing,' a game that M.C. Escher played with his kids.

I still do it, but they’re very low stakes—hardly worth more than a homework assignment.

The sequence is defined as the following:

T(n,k) = length of longest carry sequence when adding k to n in binary representation, 1 ≤ k ≤ n (triangular array).

I asked a Code Golf Stack Exchange question about this too, if you want to read more.

I can’t wait to see what comes next!

I like this a lot! I wrote a blog post about a similar shelf that I prototyped using cardboard.
Squaring the shelf
A shelf design inspired by the 'squaring the square' puzzle, with prototype photos, an interactive 3D model, and downloadable SVG/STL files for laser-cutting or 3D printing.

I don't think there was too much behind that question—I think I was just curious if someone could figure out a rule.

I first got to walk a robot when I played with a similar demo from Chase Meadors, which you can see here.

A few years ago I wrote a related blog post about this!
Robot walks
Exploration of Project Euler Problem 208's 'robot walks'—visual demos, interactive applet and code, Stack Exchange discussions, a Twitter bot that tweets walk patterns, and prints inspired by the path...

See this playomino page!
For anyone who wants to play around with this idea of polyominoes limited by the number of collinear cells, then here's a little web page that supports such doodling.

(The technical question goes something like this: for each positive integer n, what is the smallest subgraph of the grid graph for which there exists a vertex partition whose resulting quotient graph is the complete graph K_n?)

In 2019, Ryan Lee—then a junior high student—found an example proving that you can connect all distinct pairs of integers in {1, 2, ..., 11} with a 34-vertex graph, which is the largest known term in OEIS sequence A278299. oeis.org/A278299

Thanks for the shoutout! I've recently added all of these problems to my website so that you no longer have to download the PDF.
Problem 2: grid diagonals
Peter Kagey's 'Open Problems Collection' Problem 2 asks about connected components of diagonals in a square grid.
