Recently I ran across a math term and now I've forgotten it.

What is the term used for objects that you can fit together perfectly where the edges match up and there are no gaps? For example, rectangles qualify, since you can make an area completely covered using them. Circles do not, since there will be gaps in between them as you can not match up all the edges.

Congruence means equal to.
Tesselating shapes fit together. Check out http://www.makemathseasier.com/makemath/mealtime%20lunch.txt for some help with tesselating shapes.

You're not a bassist, are you? I'll give you a hint. When I'm writing or playing a line, the guitarist is not the guy I'm focused on. Bass is 9/10s getting real tight with your drummer and 1/10 begging your guitarist to stop riffing on his Les Paul's low E string because he's mucking up your line. But yeah, you're spot on. The guys whining about a lack of quality in modern music simply aren't bothering to look for stuff they'd like. There is a lot of talent.
