11 Pentominoes

(Published on 6. January 2023, 16:00 by Blobz)

Normal sudoku rules apply.

The indicated 60-cell white region contains one each of the twelve standard pentominoes (no repeats by rotation or reflection).

The blue line loops through all twelve pentominoes. It passes through exactly 2 cells of a pentomino before visiting the next. In every case, those two digits sum to 11. Also, each pentomino contains a domino marked with a difference dot, where digits either side differ by the amount shown.

The arrangement of pentominoes must be deduced.

Once placed, each pentomino behaves like a 5-cell killer cage: digits do not repeat and must sum to the small clue that appears in one of its cells.

I love colouring puzzles, as much as this one. Once you know what to look for (The I and the U) the rest is just a breeze. Fantastic puzzle

Another delightful pentominoes variant from Blobz! Like DadJokes, I found the pentominoes went in quite quickly and then there was a bit of a change of gear! However, once I got a couple of digits in the rest unfolded very nicely.

The pentomino part went fairly quick for me. The latter half with the cages and differences I found quite challenging. Nice puzzle!
