in thread Challenge: 2D random layout of variable-sized rectangular units.

For the purposes of this exercise, the "grout lines" can be ignored as the nominal sizes of the pavers are actually slightly larger on each dimension to accomodate the pointing. Ie. Just as bricks are nominally sold as being 225 x 112.5 x 75 but actually measure 215 x 102.5 x 65 to accomodate 10mm of mortar.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
