Greetings! I've been trying to play and figure out the Pentopia puzzles at the Croco Puzzle site but I've been having virtually no luck at all. I can only tell that arrows point to black squares but after that I have no idea what to do next. If anyone who's familiar with these puzzles can offer any advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Note that *all* directions on a clue with the closest distance to a pentomino are marked, like Myopia. Thus, directions *without* an arrow do not immediately point to black squares.

I was finally to able to solve a Pentopia puzzle at the Croco-Puzzle site. I see now that when 2 or more arrows appear together in one square the distance to the nearest black squares must always be the same for each of these arrows. When there is a "3-way" arrow in a square, if it's been determined that the nearest black square is 2 squares away from the arrow pointing left then for the arrows pointing up and down black squares must also be 2 squares away from these arrows as well. Pentopia certainly is a very intriguing puzzle. I notice Bram has Pentopia puzzles at his site. It would be fun to see Pentopia puzzles added here someday!
