Puzzle 47 - Polyominous 10 (Nested)

In this Polyominous puzzle, there are 16 smaller Polyominous puzzles.  The cell in the position the puzzle is in is part of a bigger Polyominous puzzle (here's an illustration).  Sometimes the bigger puzzle depends on the smaller ones, and sometimes the smaller ones depend on the bigger one.  Solve all 17 puzzles.


Puzzle 46 - Arrowneous 4

I haven't made one of these in a while...

In completely unrelated news, check out the tips tab on the top!  It's not close to being done, and I keep on thinking of more to do in the stuff I have done, but maybe it will help you out somehow.

Puzzle 45 - Polyominous 9

I have two things to say about this puzzle:

1. For it's size, it was really, REALLY hard to make.

2. As you can see, it has a six and a seven in it (and an upside-down six and seven for symmetry).  What are some of the things you can do with a six and a seven, and what does it make?  The answer is in this puzzle.

Puzzle 44 - Boxing Match 3

This puzzle is in reply to a comment on my first two Boxing Match puzzles that the rule where two circles can't make a square was never used.  I tried to use it a lot here, but upon test solving it and trying not to use it, it only HAS to be used once.  It can still help you in other areas, though.


Puzzle 43 - Pearls of Wisdom 7 (Total)

In this puzzle, any grid cell which could legally contain a pearl has one.  If a grid cell does not have a pearl, it MAY NOT follow the rules for black or white pearls.

EDIT: This puzzle was impossible.  I always missed those black pearls.  This version is fixed.

Puzzle 42 - Pearls of Wisdom 6 (Total)

IMPORTANT: This puzzle is a variant on the normal Pearls of Wisdom puzzles.  In this puzzle, any grid cell which could legally contain a pearl has one.  If a grid cell does not have a pearl, it MAY NOT follow the rules for black or white pearls.  This variant comes from motris (Thomas Snyder).  Any variant puzzles will have their name in parenthesis after the puzzle name/number, so watch out for those in the future.


Puzzle 41 - Pearls of Wisdom 5


Puzzle 40 - Slitherlink 9

Here's my take on a Slitherlink with no givens in the perimeter of the puzzle.

Puzzle 39 - Process of Illumination 3

So, I've been really busy...  I made several puzzles during this time but didn't get around to getting them online.  So, here's six puzzles for you!

About this puzzle: During a rehearsal, a 10-13-year-old girl asked me for a logic puzzle.  She said she wanted to do Process of Illumination (from seeing me do it), so I made this puzzle.  Warning: it's probably the easiest puzzle I've ever made.
