- the way the pin 23K is placed in the base tile, such as base tiles 20A to 20J shown in FIG 1 denotes the value of each pin 23 and/or the value of each aperture 22. If pin 23K is oriented with the number 1 upwards, the value denoted for each pin 23K will be 1 ; whereas if pin 23K is oriented with the number 10 upwards, the value denoted for each pin 23K will be 10.
- FIG 3C shows pin 23B, which is relatively shorter than pins 23J and 23K.
- pins 23J and 23K While longer pins, such as pins 23J and 23K, are able to accommodate several layers of tiles, shorter pins, such as pin 23B, are able to accommodate merely few layers of tiles.
