Primes

• Problem Representation
  • The task: an 8×8 board has two diagonally opposite corner squares removed (62 squares remain); can it be tiled by 31 dominoes, each covering two adjacent squares?

    This sourceUses the Mutilated Checkerboard problem to show that the colour-parity representation makes the impossibility a one-line argument intractable under the bare-grid encoding.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
