Comment(by slabbe):

 Hi Rob,

 Thanks a lot for your good review. I almost done making the corrections. I
 also added a class Tiling Solver which replaces the puzzle solver
 function. This allows for more introspection (for instance looking at the
 rows passed to the DLX solver) and also comptute the number of solutions
 more efficiently. I have one question about your suggestion :

 >   * I thought an interact would be fun.  Checkboxes for the excluded
 piece, plus the ability to "explode" the solution via a slider.  I'm
 '''not''' suggesting you write an interact, but a `size` argument as input
 to `show3d()` (for the solution) would make this possible.  Patch attempts
 to do this, but it is not totally correct, at size below 0.50 the pieces
 start to fall apart into cubes.  And the aside piece breaks up even
 earlier in my test.  The hole in block number 8 behaves slightly
 differently. So as a suggestion: consider adding a `size` argument to pass
 from the solution `show3d()` down to each piece.  But my patch is just a
 suggestion - it is not ready to use.

 I don't understand what is meant by ""explode" the solution". Is this a
 slider which would bring the size of the cube from 0 to 1 ? It doesn't not
 seem that nice to me. I would rather suggest a slider which would go from
 one solution to the other, where we would see the pieces that are removed
 and added, etc. Or maybe even an animation of it. I am almost done doing
 it: I have the iterator of partial solutions. I only need to know how to
 make a Jmol animation of 3D Graphics object or maybe an animation of
 Tachyon images.
