Puzzle 240: Touchy fillomino (Gra-n-tifying Grant)



My friend Grant( better known as mathgrant )is concerned about an ongoing personal crisis(he recently wrote about this on his blog).Apart from showing my concern in a personal message,I also wrote a puzzle today which I dedicate to him.Though this puzzle is not enough to gratify him,I will be glad if it manages to comfort him a little.Grant is made to stretch to meet the growing bills, and this themed puzzle will make the polyominos stretch to meet their consecutives.

Fillomino/Battleships


This is a new fillomino variation,combining battleships with fillomino. For the first puzzle,I used standard clues for the battleships,without any given ship segments.Next time, I will try using only ships segments.Should be more interesting that way.

Rules:Place the complete standard fleet of ten battleships,without touching even diagonally.Ships cannot be placed on numbers.Then fill the rest of the grid with numbers,following regular fillomino rules.Hints outside indicate the number of cells occupied by ships.

Fillomino


I like using 3s and 1s in fillominos.The logic is forced significantly by these numbers in this fillomino. Thanks to Palmer for testing this one.

Design contest 2


Fillomino rules: Divide the grid into polyominos ,and write a number in every cell,such that every number in the grid is contained in a polyomino of that area.Polyominos of the same size cannot touch through edges.A polyomino can contain one,more than one,or none of the given numbers.

You are asked to create a fillomino which :
1. has a unique solution,
2. contains clues only in the grey cells(see the layout below).All grey cells will have clues.

Your objective is to minimize the sum of all clues.

If you are entering the contest,and if two or more puzzles tie on the score,you agree that I will pick the best puzzle based on how much i liked the puzzle, not based on how early it was submitted.
Labelled(i mean the clues added up)entries should be sent to anuragthefirst@gmail.com until the 2nd of September.
