A several-time participant in G4G is Kate Jones of Kadon Enterprises, an organization devoted to the development and distribution of Game Puzzles. Below in a Fibonacci poem created for the 2016 G4G Jones tells the history of her game-puzzle enterprise.
Many Fibonacci poems use the Fibonacci number sequence
to determine the numbers of syllables in successive lines of a poem.
In the following poem, it is the numbers of words that are counted.
A pentomino is a plane geometric figure formed by joining five equal squares edge to edge.
There are twelve differently-shaped pentominos; this number gives the title of Jones's poem.
