  3. I think the possible shapes would look like a rectangle or a cross, or an I or H. But it is impossible to ever make a square.

  4. My two ideas for the shape would be:
    1 across and 30 down or 30 across and 1 down
    My other answer is:
    6 across and 6 down, but with 6 tiles chewed out of anywhere!
