I am doing the shady symmetry. I am using the 3 by 3 square grid.
You can make 9 symmetry solutions just using 1 cell by putting them in 1 square each time so that will equal 9 times. If you put it into the top left box it will symmetrise diagonally, if you put it into the top middle box it will symmetrise straight through the middle, if you put it into the top right box it will symmetrise diagonally, if you do it into the middle line on the most left it will symmetrise through the middle left ways, if it is in the most centre it can symmetrise upwards, downwards, left ways and right ways, if it is placed on the middle left it can symmetrise through the middle rightways.etc.
You can make 8 symmetry solutions just using 2 cells by putting them into the middle box and the top middle box, putting it into the middle box and the left middle box, putting it into the middle box and the middle right box, putting it into the middle box and the bottom middle box, putting it into the top left box and the middle box, putting it into the top right box and the middle box, putting it into the bottom left box and the middle box, putting it into the bottom right box and the middle box. The solution is that if you put it into the top middle box and the middle box it will symmetrise upwards through the middle, if you put it into the middle right box and the middle box it will symmetrise through the middle right ways, if you put it into the bottom middle box and the middle box it will symmetrise through the middle downwards, if you put it into the middle left box and the middle box it will symmetrise through the middle left ways, if you put it in the top left and the middle box it will symmetrise diagonally left ways, if you put it in the top right and the middle box it will symmetrise right ways, if you put it in the bottom right corner and the middle box it will symmetrise diagonally right ways, if you put it into the bottom left corner and the middle box it will symmetrise diagonally left ways.
You can make 44 symmetry solutions just using 3 cells by putting them in row by row horizontally, vertically and diagonally, by putting it into in the top left corner, bottom left corner and the middle...then it can symmetrise left ways, by putting it into the top middle box, the bottom middle box and the middle left box ...it will symmetrise left ways or right ways, by putting it into the top middle box, the bottom middle box and the middle right box...then it will symmetirse right ways/leftways, by putting it into the top right box, the bottom right box and the middle box...then it will symmetrise right ways, then you just turn it 90 degrees for 3 times and keep on doing the same thing BUT everytime 90 degrees turned left/right. You could also make more by putting it into the top left box, the bottom left box and the top rigt box and then the would symmetrise diagonally leftways...then you just need to turn it 90 degrees for three times. Addition to them you could put 1 in the top right box, the bottom right box and then the middle left box then symmetrise it left ways then you keep on turning it around three times 90 degrees.
