Untouchable

There is a new puzzle up at Smartkit called Untouchable that was written by Peter Grabarchuk.  The goal is to arrange a group of hexominoes in a grid so that they don’t touch.  Smartkit is giving away prizes for those who can solve the puzzle first.

Another polyomino puzzle

I came across these puzzles over at zotmeister’s blog.  He calls them polyominous.  The puzzle consists of a grid of dots with numbers sitting between some sets of four dots, not unlike slither link.  But the rules, of course, are very different.  Each number n sits on a polyomino made up of n cells (e.g. a 4 sits on a polyomino made up of four cells.)  No two polyominoes of the same size will be orthagonally adjacent and the entire grid must be filled.  To get a better idea, check out the puzzles on zotmeister’s blog.
