The solution below is by Michael Keller of Baltimore, forming all 369 octominoes into a single 51x58 rectangle. Notice his strategy for solving this monster: he used the complicated pieces first and saved the easy, more cooperative shapes to the last, where they are clustered in the lower left quadrant. The six unfillable holes are dotted with a contrasting color. Michael also publishes World Game Review and is one of the world's top polyform puzzlists.
