H-hexagon Problems

Problem 1

How many different transversals can be found for the H-hexagon of sides 2 and 3?

By different, we mean that the arrangements of objects in the hexagons are unique and cannot be rotated or flipped to the positions of another arrangement.

Problem 1A

What is the largest number of objects that can be positioned in a H-hexagon of sides 2 and 3 such that there is one of each colour in every row?

Problem 2

The triangles of a H-hexagon can be coloured in three colours to make a pattern in which no two hexagons of the same colour are touching. For the T-hexagon, we believe that half the objects in a transversal will be in white triangles and half in black triangles (click here to see this). Do the findings for the positions of transversals of a T-Hexagon apply in a similar way to the H-hexagon?

Comments on the above to follow soon.
