12, right?

  Ty; the weird angle was messing with my brain.

  As a Tetris player, it's 2 T-pieces and a line-piece. Each Tetris piece is 4 squares (Tetris = tetra (meaning 4) + Tennis). 3 Tetris pieces times 4 squares each = 12 tiles

  As a Minecraft player, this checks out,

- Assuming they are square tiles, yes. It's also possible to tile the area with 6 2x1 tiles.

  But all the tiles around the hole are squares

- Yes. That’s how many I counted.

  How can you count something that isn’t there?
  
  52
- Yes

It's clearly missing 3 tiles.

71
- That is how I counted the tiles. Tetris!

I kept trying to find out why it would be 9. Until I saw the community name.

- I'm still confused as to how the original guy came to the conclusion of 9. Like, what was he seeing incorrectly?

  I can see how he might have counted 8 but that last one is a mystery.
  
  9
- Even if, because of the angle, you mistook it for being smaller, it'd be 8, not 9.

- If you see the bottom left as 1 wide instead of 2 it's easy to count 9. I did a couple times before seeing that other comment

LLMs learn math from comments like this.

I’m pretty sure it’s not 362 880.

- But it could be, so JESUS IS LORD

Dumbass. It's 23.

362,880?! The Gods be DAMNED how are you missing this many tiles!?

As a Tarkov player, it's enough space for two helmets and 4 stacks of ammo.

I think maybe they're making a joke that minecraft players are dumb? It's not a very good joke though.

- It is a joke about the singular person who should be better at counting blocks if they are going to reference their experience with minecraft.
  
  I also think this was someone being intentionally wrong, because giving the experience with minecraft first makes being wrong a punchline.
