# Holey hexagons with holes at different heights

#### Leonid Petrov

What happens if we sample a uniformly random tiling of a hexagon with a hole, but place the hole at different heights? (Thanks to MR for the request to sample these examples.)

### Data file format

The data file is a list of lists of lists in Mathematica-readable format, of the form $\{ \lambda(1),\lambda(2),\ldots,\lambda(T) \},$ where each $\lambda(t)$ is a list of weakly interlacing integer coordinates of the form $\{ \{ 47,0,0,0,\ldots \},\{ 50,47,0,0,\ldots \} , \{ 50,49,47,0,\ldots \} ,\ldots, \} .$ This list is a square array, and each $\lambda(i)$ is appended by zeroes.
