Theme:<\/b> Logical<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 141st puzzle from our contributing puzzlemaster Prasanna Seshadri.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Place six pentominoes into each of the two top grids so that all twelve pentominoes are in one of the grids. Pentominoes can be rotated and reflected, but cannot touch each other not even diagonally. The numbers outside the grids indicate how many cells are used by pentominoes in that row\/column. The shaded cells in the bottom grid must be part of a pentomino in one of the two top grids; the unshaded cells cannot be part of a pentomino in either grid.<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> Enter the length in cells of each of the shaded pentomino segments from left to right for the marked rows, starting with the two marked rows in the left grid and then with the two marked rows in the right grid. Separate each row’s entry from the next with a comma.<\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 3:30, Master = 6:45, Expert = 13:30<\/span><\/p>\n
