Location: India | I could not get correct answer for Pentopia second puzzle. If possible can someone post the pentominos used for this? I am able to get one answer using N, I, L, F, X and T Pentomino but corner arrow is getting wrong while using this or I have to reflect one of Pentomino which is not allowed.

You are right! Dropping the I makes solution correct. Good puzzle. Enough space left to place one pentomino confused me and I made error placing I there and ending up having no solution.

(That last deduction made me laugh, by the way.)
Me too. I kept wondering during the solve if that empty space would be an L or an I, and it took a while to reach the actual solution, because I'm slow with reflecting pieces. Nice work to force nothingness. |

It'd have been nice if the "pentominoes can't be reflected" rule were emphasized because I don't think it's standard (see Para's blog and USPC 2013, for example).
Or maybe I'm just a little annoyed because I spent lots of time on that puzzle thinking I screwed up because I thought it was non-unique, and eventually gave up >.<
Other than that, it was a lot of fun and the puzzles were well-constructed! |
