Christmas Pentominoes
(Published on 4. December 2021, 16:43 by Will Power)
The set of numbers, from 1-9 each appear exactly 9 times in the grid. All numbers appear once each in all columns. The only 4 pairs of numbers that appear more than once in rows are given. There is no constraint for 3x3 boxes. Numbers in all pentominoes sum to 25 (Merry Christmas). No numbers repeat in the same pentomino. Pentominoes of the same shape have the same set of digits. No pentominoes of different shapes have the same set of digits. The highest and lowest digits in each pentomino are given. Hint: I have used 11 out of the following 12 possible combinations of digits in the puzzle. 12589, 12679, 13489, 13579, 13678, 14569, 14578, 23479, 23569, 23578, 24568, and 34567.

@marsigel this just means that the numbers that repeat in the rows have all been given. There are two 8s in row 3, two 1s in row 4, two 3s in row 4, and two 7s in row 7. There are no more repeated digits in the rows besides those. That's how I understood it, hope this helps!

I don't understand the meaning of the sentence "The only 4 pairs of numbers that appear more than once in rows are given.". Could you please give me an explanation for it?
