Question

Follow this series: Can you guess the last two results?

OOOOO = 0
LTSSJI = 4
IIIIIIIIII = 0
I90I90O90 = 2
SSSSJ = 5
T180T180T180S270 = ¿?
LZZZZ = ¿?

EDITED: Thanks to Deusovi who solved it and also found an error: changed second line to LTSSJI = 4

There's another error. SSSSJ should be 5. Also, if I've solved it, could you accept my answer? — Deusovi, Jul 22 '15 at 10:16

The number represents how many...

other Tetris pieces you'd need to clear the board. Each string represents tetrominoes being dropped onto a standard 10-wide board; the numbers represent rotations by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Unfortunately, I seem to have stumbled across a better solution for two of them.

Here's a diagram in Google Sheets:

So the solution is

6 and 5.

how do you come to this solutions ? I mean, how did you think of tetris ?? – FernandoNomellini Jul 22 '15 at 12:20
@FernandoNomellini - Tetrominoes are named based on their shape. All of the names showed up, and no other letters did. – Deacon Jul 22 '15 at 12:25
Um... you have LTJSJI in your answer instead of LTSSJI...? – jpmc26 Jul 22 '15 at 15:00
@jpmc26 Look at the edits on the question; that was the part that was edited because questioner recognized the mistake – Aaron Dufour Jul 23 '15 at 03:01
@FernandoNomellini I didn't get it either, till I looked at the legend at the top. Each letter represents a tetris piece, visio-netically: (Tetrominoes) – Mazura Jul 23 '15 at 03:39
