I had a teacher like that :-) but maybe Piet Mondrian did not… :-)

Well, good luck!!!  Maybe Eugene Trounev or his offsider Sean Wilson
could be contacted and might help if all else fails.  They did the Egyptian
and Imperial Jade tiles and numerous other sets of graphics for KDE
Games.  One of them could knock over the missing items in the Bamboo
tiles in half an hour, I reckon.
