A 2D shape that can tile itself with

n

smaller, equally sized copies of itself is called a rep-tile and is said to be rep-

n

.

The order of a rep-tile is the smallest number

n

such that the tile is rep-

n

.

Any polysquare that tiles a square is obviously a rep-tile. These trivial cases are omitted here.
