In 2023, David Smith solved the einstein
problem by proving that there exists a polygon that can
tile the plane infinitely without producing a pattern.
Smith and his co-authors called this
13-sided polygon as "The Hat". Einstein here is a
wordplay on ein stein, which in German means "one stone". [Gudipati]
