<p>This type of puzzle was, as far as I know, first published in the British magazine Games and Puzzles, issue no 50, july 1976.<br />
There is a type of puzzle where all bones from the double 6 set are laid down in a 7&#215;8 square. Sometimes that type of puzzle is called dominosa. You can find a couple of them on my homepage, the <a href="http://spaanszt.home.xs4all.nl/Domino_Plaza.html#Puzzles">domino plaza</a>. Because the type of puzzle is very similar, I have christened this type of puzzle pentominosa.</p>
