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.

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...

It was a very nice test. I mean very very nice. Also I overally like pentomino puzzles, so I really enjoyed them. There was right amount of puzzles - I didn't expect to finish anyway, so - it's perfect. Actually I didn't practice too for it, so no big expectations.
There was a small thing with the points distribution, but I take that as my personal opinion and skills - so, also it was nicely done.
And there were some very enjoyable ones too.
Big thanks.

Key component of this test being enjoyable was that reflections were always allowed. I hate checking for that. Thanks for the test!
