Jun 30, 2016 at 21:13 comment added Roland Again, refrain from obscure parsings of the original puzzle. We can assume that if he meant "the perimeter forms a rectangle", he would have said so.

Jun 30, 2016 at 20:41 comment added Roland @PédeLeão I am aware, just as the xkcd puzzle is technically correct also. This is an interesting question with a potentially interesting solution; the trivial exception should thus be ignored, as is now made explicit in the edit.

Jun 30, 2016 at 20:28 comment added Dan Russell The question has been edited to rule this out now.
Jun 30, 2016 at 20:16 comment added User4407 @Roland. A portion of a plural quantity can be a single unit.
Jun 30, 2016 at 20:11 comment added Roland If we are to take the plural "dominoes" in "rectangle of 2x1 dominoes" to mean any number (inluding 1), then I direct @Owen to xkcd.com/169
