Serpentagram [Overlapping Pentominous Snake]
(Eingestellt am 17. Januar 2024, 17:48 Uhr von MicroStudy)
Rules
- Pentominous (Overlapping): Divide the grid such that each non-black cell belongs to one or two pentominoes (i.e. overlapping). Pentominoes of the same shape, regardless of rotation or reflection, cannot overlap and cannot be orthogonally adjacent to each other. A cell with a letter indicates that it belongs to the pentomino of the corresponding shape, but can belong to an additional pentomino. Black cells are not part of the snake or any pentomino.
- Snake: Draw a snake that travels orthogonally through the grid from one endpoint (to be determined by the solver) to another. The snake cannot branch nor touch itself orthogonally, but may touch itself diagonally. The snake is entirely comprised of every cell that belongs to two pentominoes.

Fastest “add to favorites” ever. Equally as hard and beautiful as it is cursed, and it is extra cursed. This puzzle gets my highest recommendation, just as “be extremely careful while solving” gets my highest recommendation. The perfect gift that I will never forget (as it will haunt my dreams forever). Thanks, Micro!

Completely insane! Very simple rules in theory, but it's so hard to wrap your head around all the ways they interact. Excellent work Micro!
