The unique-shape conjecture for (\tmo,n)(\tmo,n)-prismatic polyominoes

From papers

Let a (\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.25] \draw (1,0)--++(.5,0)--++(0,.5)--++(-1.5,0)--++(0,-.5)--++(1,0)--++(0,1)--++(-.5,0)--++(0,-1); \end{tikzpicture},n)-prismatic polyomino be a prismatic polyomino formed using the tile represented by the source's diagram and parameter nn, and let a ziggurat of height hh denote the corresponding stepped polyomino shape of height hh. Unique-shape conjecture. The unique shape of (\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.25] \draw (1,0)--++(.5,0)--++(0,.5)--++(-1.5,0)--++(0,-.5)--++(1,0)--++(0,1)--++(-.5,0)--++(0,-1); \end{tikzpicture},n)-prismatic polyominoes is the ziggurat of height n2+1n^2+1. The preceding theorem gives evidence for this shape, but the conjecture remains unproved because a satisfactory coloring of the ziggurat has not been established.
