Hi All, just one "patological" note for Dosun-Fuwari Park puzzle.
By
Gabriele
That's a very interesting point. I'm thankful the shapes in both puzzles don't have this situation. If this puzzle type is reused it is definitely a valid clarification to add to the ruleset (or just let be and consider while constructing the puzzle ) |

Country : India | rajeshk posted @ 2021-05-04 6:41 PM I have doubt regarding Dosun-Fuwari Park as below
Do we need only one of the given shapes for the regions? or different regions can contain different shapes. Given example uses only one shape but the instruction does not prohibit different regions from using the different shapes. Please clarify this.

Different regions can have different shapes within the allowances below. In the example, you could have had the 2x2 ball replacing the trimino ball in any region if it didn't violate other rules. |

I liked the Minesweeper puzzles and Star Battle puzzles the most. I was stuck in Statue Park and Myopia Shapes was I was unable to rotate the shapes correctly :).
Overall very good PR test.

Country : India | vjain9 posted @ 2021-05-06 10:43 AM Yes Prasanna..... Lot many queries in DF Park ! Is the linked ball piece considered as one unit and a part suspended if another is supported , acceptable ? IE is a 3 ball unit is placed horizontally on 1 black square and 2 balls hanging , allowed ?
Only the available units have to be used and single units cant be used ?
A unit has to be used within a highlighted region only ( This is now amply clear - YES ) |

What you are saying as "3 ball unit" is actually just "1 ball". The shape in its entirety is a ball.
Only available shapes may be used. |
