Two copies of the tile can surround a third copy completely.
No point of the yellow tile touches the boundary of the whole tiling patch.



The tile admits a tiling of the plane, because the buttom of this strip fits exactly in the top of the stripe.



The number of edges can be reduced. Here 25-gon is shown.
But then the neck is very thin.
