SLICY of Life

(Published on 2. December 2020, 00:48 by BenceJoful)

You are given 5 puzzle boards, each divided by borders into regions. On each board:

  • In each region, shade in 4 cells to make a S, L, I, C, or Y shape (or tetrahex), as seen beside the board.
  • When two tetrahexes touch, they may not be the same shape (e.g. S may touch L, but not another S).
  • All shaded cells connect into a single continuous network.
    (Note: this applies to each puzzle board independently, the five boards do not connect via SLICY shapes.)
  • No three shaded cells may be grouped together, such that they share a corner/vertex.
  • In some regions, numbers are given. Regions with the same number must have the same shape of tetrahex.
    (e.g. if you determine that in the "L" board, region 3 is an S tetrahex, the "I" board's region 3 is also an S tetrahex.)

Penpa+ link with solution check

Solution code:

For each puzzle board (S, L, I, C, and Y), the number of tetrahexes corresponding to the board shape; 5 digits total.

For example, if there are 4 regions on the "S" board with an "S" tetrahex, and 2 "L" tetrahexes on the "L" board, the solution code would be "42...", with dots replaced by the numbers for I, C, and Y.

The given tinyURL link wasn't opening for me, but I found a workaround: get the full URL behind the tinyURL by using an online tool like wheregoes.com, then open the full URL using Penpa's Load function.

Very nice puzzle! Large but you get step by step closer to the solution.

Is it really a double hex near the bottom of the "C" grid, or is it a graphic glitch?
