2Authored explanation
The packet's cited sources and equivalent formulations were checked in the dated review recorded below.
Strongest checked result: The MathOverflow and Mathematics Stack Exchange pages have no solution. The source author reported in 2021 that the author of the four-cell theorem knew of no later progress, and no subsequent exact classification was found.
Exact unresolved remainder: Prove that every five-element subset A of Z^2 tiles by lattice translations and square-lattice symmetries, or exhibit a specific five-element A and prove that no such tiling exists. A positive computational classification must state a finite reduction for arbitrarily separated cells and provide periodic fundamental-domain certificates for every reduced class; bounded-box enumeration alone is insufficient.
