Regional Yajilin — 'Abandoned Factory'
(Published on 17. January 2022, 06:43 by PixelPlucker)
Some say you can hear the agonised sobs of pentominoes emanating from each of the building's four quadrants; disfigured from years of neglect, these amorphous husks lie vengefully in the dark, waiting for a careless adventurer to stumble past. But that's just an old wives' tale, right...?
Can you map out the hazards and explore the abandoned site safely?
Standard Regional Yajilin rules apply:
- Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent.
- Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells.
- Draw a non-intersecting loop that travels vertically and horizontally through the centres of all the remaining cells.
You can try this puzzle online using Penpa+ or puzz.link. Enjoy!
Solution code: For each row from top to bottom, enter the number of the column where the first shaded cell appears. Enter only the last digit for multi-digit numbers, and enter 0 for a row without a shaded cell.
