Chinese Wooden Puzzles solutions touching top and bottom edge
Below the results for the Chinese Wooden
Puzzle such that all pieces of the same colour touch each other and both
the top and the bottom edge. All trival solutions have been left out. Also
solutions with the green and purple pieces, because there are no solutions in
which they mingle with the other pieces. There are no non-trivial solutions
with less than four pieces of each colour.

One normalized solution is symmetric in one direction.
Three normalized solutions are not symmetric in any direction.
Eight solutions (two normalized solutions) are permutations of one solution of black, four solutions of blue.
This leaves six mix solutions.
One pattern is a combination of two smaller patterns.
Two patterns are a mix patterns.
There is one minimal touching pattern, which is suboptimal with nine extra.
There is one maximal touching pattern.
The patterns are:
