Theme:<\/b> Clue Symmetry<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Place some blocks of three hexagons connected in a line (briquets) into the grid so that they do not overlap themselves or the numbered cells. For each numbered cell, the top clue indicates how many of the surrounding cells containing a briquet segment; the bottom clue indicates how many different briquets are in the surrounding cells. All cells that are not covered by briquets, including the numbered cells, must be part of a single connected group. Or see this example<\/a> from the WPC instruction booklet.<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> For each marked row, enter the length in cells of each group of connected cells that are part of briquets. Separate each row\u2019s entry with a comma (eg \u201c5,16,33,14\u201d).<\/p>\n
