| # --description--
 | |
| 
 | |
| A triomino is a shape consisting of three squares joined via the edges.
 | |
| 
 | |
| There are two basic forms:
 | |
| 
 | |
| If all possible orientations are taken into account there are six:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Any n by m grid for which nxm is divisible by 3 can be tiled with triominoes. If we consider tilings that can be obtained by reflection or rotation from another tiling as different there are 41 ways a 2 by 9 grid can be tiled with triominoes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| In how many ways can a 9 by 12 grid be tiled in this way by triominoes?

| `euler161()` should return 20574308184277972.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.strictEqual(euler161(), 20574308184277972);
