A pentomino is a puzzle that there are 12 pieces to fit into a shape
they are quite hard so don`t panic
The character who plays with pentominoes in Chasing Vermeer is Calder Pillay. Pentominoes are a key element in solving the mystery in the book.
Pentominoes are 12 shapes made up of 5 squares !If you rotate or move them they do NOT count as a different pentominoe!
There are 29 distinct pentominoes in three dimensions. 5 pairs of them are mirror images and can be rotated in 4-space to be considered the same. There is one 4D pentomino that cannot be built in 3D for a total of 24 4D pentominoes.

What made you think this was an appropirate question to ask in a FIREARMS forum?
The four rules for drawing pentominoes are: Each pentomino must consist of exactly five connected squares, with each square sharing at least one side with another square. The orientation of the pentomino can vary, allowing for rotations and reflections, but the basic shape must remain consistent. No two pentominoes can be identical; rotations or reflections of the same shape count as the same pentomino. The pentominoes should be drawn clearly to distinguish each shape, ensuring that they are easily recognizable and defined.
they all tessellate because they all fit together
The pentominoes in "Chasing Vermeer" serve as a crucial puzzle that Calder and Petra must solve to uncover the truth behind the art theft. By deciphering the code hidden within the pentominoes, they are able to reveal clues that ultimately lead them to the stolen Vermeer painting and solve the mystery.

There are 18 if you count mirror images as distinct; 12 otherwise.
Yes, it is possible to create 12 different pentominoes that are not congruent to each other. A pentomino is a shape formed by joining five equal squares edge to edge, and there are a total of 12 unique pentominoes that can be formed without overlapping or rotating into congruence with one another. Each of these shapes can be distinguished based on their arrangement and symmetry, ensuring that none are congruent.
