or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools; use tab to alternate between a composite mode for line\/edge drawing and a letter entry mode.)<\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Clue Symmetry and Logic (Originally on the Indian Puzzle Championship).<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 35th puzzle from our contributing puzzlemaster Prasanna Seshadri.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Divide the grid into 20 pentominoes so that no two pentominoes of the same shape (including rotations\/reflections) share an edge.

Answer String:<\/b> Enter the letter associated with the pentomino occupying each cell in the two marked rows from left to right, separating the rows with a comma. Use CAPITAL LETTERS!<\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 2:45, Master = 3:45, Expert = 7:30<\/span><\/p>\n
