Tetris is a Soviet block game developed in $1984$, probably to torture misbehaving middle school children. Nowadays, Tetris is a game that people play for fun, and we even have a mini-event featuring it, but it shall be used on this test for its original purpose. The $7$ Tetris pieces, which will be used in various problems in this theme, are as follows: [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/b/c/f4a5a2b90fcf87968b8f2a1a848ad32ef52010.png[/img] [b]p1.[/b] Each piece has area $4$.
