Hi,
This is the first LITS puzzle I have tried, but still, I have the feeling that the solution is not unique...
The big area in the middle has, according to the official solution, the following "filling":
Code:
  xox
  xoox
 xox
 xxx
  x

However, I think the filled squares could also be dirstributed in the following ways:
Code:
  xxx
  xoox
 oox
 xxx
  x

or:
Code:
  xxx
 xoxx
 oox
 oxx
  x

Basically, you can just "move" the S-shape one or two squares to the bottom left.
Am I overlooking something? Dit I miss a rule?


Kind regards,
Kroisos.

Never mind. I overlooked the rule that all coloured squares must be conneted.
That effectively disables the two "alternatives" above.


Kind regards,
Kroisos.
