Abstract
We compute the number of rhombus tilings of a hexagon with sides with three fixed tiles touching the border. The particular case solves a problem posed by Propp. Our result can also be viewed as the enumeration of plane partitions having rows and columns, with largest entry , with a given number of entries in the first row, a given number of entries 0 in the last column and a given bottom-left entry.
