You cannot swap FIFIR and RUBIA because the letter R is upside down.


I don't think that happens in the alternative solution.

Describing it accurately is hard, so here's a link to what it looks like: https://imgur.com/gcIZnre

"Two L or I pentominoes cannot fit entirely in 2 x 5 and 5 x 2 rectangles." This is automatically implied by the immediately preceding statement. So it should be removed to avoid confusion


It is not. In the example, this rule prevents swapping the leftmost L with the bottommost I, because then the first two columns would form a 5x2 rectangle that is filled with two I pentominoes and nothing else

Hello everybody. Problem 6 - Azure and rose journey:
I dont understand the scheme L1 R2 L3 R1 L2 R3 L1... If letters L and R are for colours, is L for Azure (why?) and R for Rose, or is it possible to begin with Rose?

I first composed the text in Russian, and then connected the translator. In Russian, the word azure is written with the letter L. I should have changed the letters L to A, but it's too late. You need to start with azure, as stated in the rules.

Unfortunately, Russians cannot browse websites with the .com domain. Upon prior request, I was allowed to use only the LMI website.
I'll try to explain it without following the link. If you turn the sheet 180 degrees, the letters R become legible (not rotated). Then FIFIR and RUBIA can be entered by looking at the correctly oriented letters R.

Fine ! And about pb 6, again :
If you have 4 aligned points A, B , C, D: is it possible to have segment AC (of length 2) in the line, and later, segment CD (of length 1) also in the line, or is it forbidden, because "segments of the same color do not touch each other)?
