   As trial&error is my most usual approach to geometry, I first tried
square repeats, but it did not work. Then I noticed the tiling type five
is not square, so I then applied good & old Pythagoras to get the
correct ratio. I really don't know if it can be made square, or if it
makes more sense... I just assumed it should be that way for this
specific symmetry. And for my wallpapering usage, if it tiles
seamlessly, that's enough. But I guess you're already thinking on the
Gancaloon ceramic tiles... ;)
