BLOCKING POLYOMINOES PROBLEM

0c
Here I want to recopilate all minimum (non trivial) solutions for the restricted problem by Junk Kato and Patrick Hamlyn

PROBLEM: We want to find the minimum quantity of replicas for each polyomino that we can put in a way that no piece or group of pieces can move

TRIVIAL SOLUTIONS:
If we can reduce an N-omino in a smallest N-omino and the pices are in same position, then we have a trivial solution, that we will not mention
