This is a Monday norinori puzzle, but instead of shading dominos, which consist of two monominos, which is the fancy way of saying squares, you should shade diamonds, which consist of two moniamonds, which is the fancy way of saying equilateral triangles. The puzzles in this week are arranged less by difficulty, and more by polyiamond […]
