Free, one-sided, and fixed polyknights There are three common ways of distinguishing polyominoes and polyknights free polyknights are distinct when none is a rigid transformation ( translation, rotation, reflection or glide reflection ) of another ( pieces that can be picked up and flipped over ). one-sided polyknights are distinct when none is a translation or rotation of another ( pieces that cannot be flipped over ). fixed polyknights are distinct when none is a translation of another ( pieces that can be neither flipped nor rotated ).
