After staring at the tiles for 30 seconds I found the pattern (4 aligned rows followed by an offset row), but… why the hell would you lay these out like that? It looks so jumbled.

    It can also be the same reason the carpet patterns in casinos is a bit off, designed to irritate slightly so your head stays up and you focus on the stores more.

        The casino thing isn’t supposition, it’s well documented. It’s not entirely unreasonable to think it may be used elsewhere.

        I’m generally with you on how people too easily come up with and believe in conspiracy theories.

        But casinos are pretty famous for considering details like color schemes to find what is most profitable. If there’s one type of place that’s likely to put a lot of thought into carpet design, it’s a casino.

        Not saying I simply believe what they say, but I’m not going to quickly write it off either.
