Cell Shifts for Octiamonds

Introduction.

Two polyiamonds can be tiled with copies of the same octiamond. The polyiamonds differ in only one cell. How near can the unmatched cells lie? If you can find a shorter shift than is shown here, or an equal shift with fewer tiles, please let me know.

For smaller polyiamonds, see Cell Shifts for Polyiamonds.
