It is rep-2 when divided by a single line bisecting the right angle to the 542:. Rep-2 rep-tiles are also rep-2 and the rep-4,8,16+ triangles yield further rep-tiles. These are found by discarding half of the sub-copies and permutating the remainder until they are 696:, can be self-tiled in different ways. For example, the rep-9 L-tetramino has at least fourteen different rep-tilings. The rep-9 sphinx hexiamond can also be tiled in different ways. 256:
