H & I - This is the Region Division section. The Division puzzles are mine, and I just thought that since "Pentomino thinking" is slightly different from "Tetromino thinking", one of each should do well here. The Arafs, and most notably, the highest pointer, the Different Neighbors variant, were contributed by Bram. I wasn't entirely sure whether to include the variant, even though it was my favorite puzzle of the set, because it starts with global logic that might be difficult to see. I requested another variant to choose from, and he was nice enough to send it in, but I still wanted to use the first one, so I decided that if 2 testers solve it in a reasonable time (after I already had), it should be fine to include. This is what happened, and I'm happy some solvers attempted and solved it, and were able to enjoy it within competition. For those of you willing to try it and looking for a hint - count the 4s.

For the Araf variation, it helps to have seen this puzzle from a familiar blog before:

Also Battleships already have digits around the grid. Putting another set of digits might be confusing.

But there are 26 alphabets while only 10 digits. I can see why Prasanna prefers letters; so he doesn't need to deal with "if the column number has two digits, enter the last digit only" and stuffs.

It was kind of funny actually. I had considered this particular variant before this puzzle had been posted. So after that puzzle was posted any thought of being original quickly disappeared.
