解析 · Solution
解法1
常规解法 · 旋转摆放构造
对齐放只盖 2×2=4 格。把卡片转成 (菱形),对角线 ,中心对准一个网格顶点;此时它横跨 4 列、4 行,落在 4×4=16 格的范围内,但四个尖角够不到该范围的 4 个角格,故触及 16-4=12 格。
巧解 · 上界估计
卡片在任意方向的宽度不超过 ,故每个方向最多跨 3 条网格线、即至多 4 列与 4 行(4×4=16 格);又卡片是凸的,无法同时占到全部 4 个角格,故触及数 ,而上面的摆法恰达 12。
Solution 1
Elementary · rotating placement construction
Aligned with the grid, the card covers 2×2=4 unit squares. Tilt it to (a diamond) with diagonal and center it on a grid vertex; it then spans 4 columns and 4 rows, a 4×4=16-cell region, but its four points miss the four corner cells, so it touches 16-4=12 squares.
Slick · bound estimate
The card's width in any direction is at most , so it crosses at most 3 grid lines each way, spanning at most 4 columns and 4 rows (4×4=16 cells). Being convex, it cannot reach all four corner cells, so it meets at most 12 — and the tilted placement achieves 12.
