Presumably, the objective is to arrange the tetriminos into a pleasing rectangle shape. Unfortunately, the factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28, so 4x7 is the closest you can get to a square, and 2x14 has a similar problem of having the same number of 'white' squares as 'black' squares. The closest one can get is 5x6 with two holes removed.
- maaku 12y agoWhy? A full row in tetris is removed. To someone who knows the game, leaving a hole in each row would be more pleasing. Aesthetically I'd also find it more interesting, but that's an aside.
