If you want to see how Shalosh discovered (and proved!), (in 0.287 seconds!)
the solution to Math. Magazine problem #1868,
that asked for the number of ways of tiling with 4n+8 dominoes the region in the
discrete plane obtained by removing from the (n+4) by (n+4) square the central
nxn square, proposed by
CS Giant Don Knuth in the April 2011 issue, that, as it turned out,
was already proposed and solved, in 2004, by the human Roberto Tauraso, in Theorem 2.2. of
J. Integer of Sequence Article 04.2.3
