The dotted wall example seems not to be unique; the bottom left corner can be shaded or unshaded. Was the 7/- clue supposed to be 7/1? It fixes this and makes the clues symmetric.

You are right; the clue should have been 7/1.

Arigatoo gozaimashita, Okamoto-san.
Thank you for creating this contest.
And I'm pleased that it is before this weekend, I was worried it would start after I started travelling. :)

NOTE :
In Pentopia, Pentominoes are not allowed to touch each other, even diagonally.
(IB was missing the words "even diagonally". We have added those two words now)

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.

Rajesh: see if you can fix your solution by just completely dropping the I pentomino. (That last deduction made me laugh, by the way.)

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.

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.
