For Mondrian puzzles, you must cover the grid square on paper with rectangles.
1. The rectangles can have the same areas, but they must all have different dimensions.
2. After the rectangles are drawn, the design should be colored using the smallest possible number of different colors so that no rectangles with the same color meet along an edge or at a vertex.
3. The score for each solution is equal to the area of the largest rectangle minus the area of the smallest rectangle.
4. The goal is to make this score as small as possible.
