What exact number of domino tilings cannot be realizable?
Consider a $4\times 2k+1$ rectangle. Label its points by $(x,y)$, with $x$ from $0$ to $3$ and $y$ from $0$ to $2k.$ Remove from the rectangle the points $(1,y)$ and $(2,y)$ for $y$ odd. I claim that …

Simple question about polynomials
This equation has no solutions when $d$ is odd. (EDIT: See below for the general case.)
Actually, for $d$ odd, there are no triples $(F_0,F_1,F_2)$ with $F_1\cdot F_2-F_0^2$ a multiple of $x$, let al …
