He changes the floor into a plate as shown below And says his L-Tromino has 3 ground squares and 1 hole. He says that he has used 8 L-Trominos on the floor and just 1 1x1 single warp tile, which can take him to the next level. However, the problem is that the warp tile looks like the ground tiles, exactly alike. How many positions could the warp tile possibly be?

Solution :Colour nine of the squares as follows.

Each L­tromino can COVER at most one of the coloured squares. Since thereare only EIGHT L­trominoes, the `1 × 1` square tile must also cover a colouredsquare. It turns out that all nine positions are possible. The constructionsare QUITE STRAIGHTFORWARD and will be LEFT to the reader.
