The pentominoes are the twelve geometric figures which can be made by gluing five squares together, edge-to-edge — just think of Tetris-like shapes, but using five squares instead of four. Mathematician and puzzle enthusiast Vince Matsko hosts an evening of intense puzzledom using these deceptively simple shapes. 

Tackle a wide range of challenges: easier puzzles may take just a few minutes to solve, but get ready to exercise your brain — the more challenging puzzles may take an hour or more!  Thanks to the generous support of Two Sigma, this program is free to attendees.
