Edge template VII-1-TBA
This template was discovered in a discussion on the Hex Discord from October 7 until November 8, 2023. After Eric Demer's discovery of edge template VI1b on October 6, the user Bobson noticed that this could likely be turned into a single-stone 7th row template. He found the first such pre-template on October 13; it had width 32, but was of course not initially known to be minimal. Bobson subsequently reduced the width to 23 cells on October 14, and to 21 cells on October 27. Subsequently a number of Discord users collaborated to check minimality, which was finally verified on November 8. In the process, several other single-stone 7th row templates of smaller width, but with differently shaped carriers, were also discovered.
