Yes, we heard that too. Thats what makes this an interesting puzzle to try and solve using Python!
So far, theres code for placing, rotating and moving the shapes around and calculating collisions. The actual "solving" is still a work in progress. Some interesting solutions have been proposed. Maciej and Tim and others are working on a genetic algorithm, I believe. I am looking at using simulated annealing. Other people are trying other approaches. Fun for everyone.
