Completely correct. In the example you can find this already for the T-shape. I have placed the T-shape on purpose in this position. |

- Pentomino in the box: 1, 2, 3, and in my previous LMI Puzzle test Dutch Treat
I like the most puzzle 1, in which the rules are quite different and until I read the real instructions (not that in IB), it took me one night solving it without success ;-) |

Hmm, that was the first puzzle of this type that I ever made. I forgot that the rules there are indeed slightly different. Maybe it's best not to look too much to this puzzle to avoid confusion. Apologies for that! |

Location: India | In Touching Pentominoes, should all Pentominoes be necessarily connected? Or can there be Pentominoes which are not linked at all? In the example given, all Pentominoes are connected through the corners. |

Not all Pentos are necessarily connected; free floating pentos might occur. |

As always the case when writing a test, I have made a few puzzles more than necessary. The leftovers will be published in the portal of LM Germany in the coming days, following the schedule:
Sunday: Pentopia
Monday: Pentomino Yajilin
Tuesday: - (Sudoku Variants Series-day)
Wednesday: Pentomino Word Search
Thursday: Mini Pento Loops

By providing these practise puzzles, I hope everyone can have a decent preparation for the test, to enjoy it even more! :)
Meanwhile the last practise puzzle has been posted in the portal of LM Germany. You can find Pentapa here. I hope the practise puzzles have triggered you enough to participate!
I wish all participants good luck and a few fun hours. |

I love monothematic contests and here I found many great puzzles. The best for me was the harder Pento In The Box even though I do not like this puzzle type. Thanks Richard! |

Thanks, that was fun!
Points per time did vary quite a bit, but that's probably just me sucking at Sum Pentominos...
