Solution Preview
let F(n) be the number of ways to fill the hole. Let's consider the following cases:
case 1: the first 2x2x1 part of the hole is filled by 2 bricks. There are two ways to fill this part with 2 bricks( either vertical or horizontal) and we have F(n-1) ways to fill ...
Solution Summary
A recursive equation is used to find how many ways bricks can be placed in a hole in a wall. Diagrams are included with this well explained solution.
