Penban minesweeper
(Published on 17. June 2021, 10:47 by PetLov)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Colour the grid so that all cells (all except for one) are covered with all possible pentomino shapes according to the following criteria:
*There can be no more than two pentominos of the same shape.
*Two pentominos of the same shape cannot touch eachother, not even diagonally.
*The lines in the grid are renban lines and must contain consecutive digits in any order.
*Each line is part of exactly one pentomino.
The white circles are minesweeper clues. The digit in a circle is the same as the number of pentominos in it's eight surrounding cells. The circled cell or the pentomio it belongs to is not included in the count.
All minesweeper clues are given.
Digits may repeat within a pentomino if allowed by the other rules.
The inequality sign is pointing to the smaller of the two digits it is connecting.

I really enjoyed this puzzle! I feel like it was more in the 4-5 range instead of 3 stars, but the logic was interesting and challenging and just fun to work my way through. Thanks!
*** Thank you for your feedback :-)
I found it really hard to evaluate the difficulty level on this one. I guess its a bit tricky since there are so many elements in the puzzle.
