Problem Statement

We have 1010 identical tiles as shown. The tiles can be rotated, but not flipper over. A 7×77 \times 7 board should be covered with these tiles so that exactly one unit square is covered by two tiles and all other fields by one tile. Designate all unit sqaures that can be covered with two tiles. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/d/5/6602a5c9e99126bd656f997dee3657348d98b5.png
