Description:
My pentominoes project started in the 80s, when I manually tryed to found all the
2339 solutions of the 6x10 rectangle pentominoes.
I then developed an archiving method, which allowed a fast check, if a new solution
was really a new one or if I already had found it earlier.

In 1986 I wrote my first computer program, which was able to find all the solutions of
the puzzle. At that time the program was one of the first of it's kind. It was written
to Amstrad CPC home computer and it was also published in the finnish magazine
MikroBitti.
A copy of this article can be found
here.
Later I translated the program, using turbo basic, to PC and finally this latest
version saw dayligth in the year 2006.
