Just tested.  8 blocks gives you 30 tiles.
31 by the forumla, so 8 blocks = 10x3.

The formula is (Xx3)+1, so 8 blocks will give 25, not 30.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

It would mean, for example, that one block gives four tiles.  I'm pretty confident it gives three, not four.

It would also mean that using blocks together is less efficient than using them separately, whereas I'm pretty sure that reality is the opposite (using blocks together is more efficient than using them separately).

And another poster just confirmed that eight gives a 3x10 square, which means eight gives at least 30.

I've been operating under the "tiles = 4 * blocks - 1" theory for quite some time, and it has never let me down.

Disclaimer: I'm virtually completely confident about this for raw rock - i.e. "tiles = 4 * rocks - 1".  Maybe blocks are different.  But I don't think so.
