Yes, my husband can tile floors.  It requires a human touch, some finesse, and hopefully a sense of art and beauty.

Why would tiling a floor be so difficult? It sounds like the geometry would be pretty straightforward.  Has anyone actually tried that?

I have always found this idea interesting. We can't build a computer yet that can properly figure out how to tile a floor, but who knows? Maybe consciousness is computation. http://www.fountainmagazine.com/article.php?ARTICLEID=379
