Pentominous Cave
(Published on 8. November 2024, 06:59 by Tacosian)
- Cave
- Shade some cells in the grid such that all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected, and all orthogonally connected groups of shaded cells touch the edge of the grid.
- Clues represent the number of unshaded cells seen in all four directions from the cell containing the clue, including itself. Shaded cells obstruct vision.
- Pentominous
- Divide the grid into pentominoes such that all cells belong to a pentomino.
- Pentominoes of the same shape cannot share an edge, regardless of reflection or rotation.
- Interaction
- Each individual pentomino is either entirely shaded or entirely unshaded.
- The unshaded cells seen by a clue must not all belong to the same pentomino.
Solution code: The number of shaded cells in each row, from top to bottom.

Your puzzles are always so very delightful. Sad that this seems to be the last one....
idk which brutal step(s) wisty could possibly have gotten stuck on :) I think it's all fairly tame

Very hard puzzle! No idea what puzzle bolgat solved. Really cool logic throughout, with a couple sticking points. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil it. Thanks for sharing!
