Problem

Consider the 7 different tetrominoes. Is it possible to cover a \(4\times7\) rectangle with exactly one copy of each of the tetrominoes? If it is possible, provide an example layout. If it is not possible, prove that it’s impossible.

We allow rotation of the tetrominoes, but not reflection. This means that we consider \(S\) and \(Z\) as different, as well as \(L\) and \(J\).
