Fillomino

Logic Level 5

(Right click on the image and click "View image" to see a larger, clearer version.)

Fillomino is a logic puzzle devised by nikoli . You are given a grid, partially filled with numbers; your task is to divide the grid into regions such that:

  • Each number indicates the area its region is contained in,
  • No two regions with equal area are orthogonally adjacent (sharing a side; touching by a corner is okay).

Note that a region may be clued by multiple numbers, or even no number at all.

A sample puzzle (left) with its solution (right) can be seen below.

Your task is to solve the Fillomino puzzle above (at the very top).

After solving it and filling each cell with the area of its region, submit the digits in the first marked row (row 4), followed by the digits in the second marked row (row 10). (For double-digit cells, put both digits.) For the example above, the answer is 3313231333 3313231333 .

The unique solution is given below:

As can be read, the first marked row reads 1241447444 1241447444 and the second marked row reads 4455551555 4455551555 , giving the answer 12414474444455551555 \boxed{12414474444455551555} .

Had so much fun doing it! Although I thought that there could be blank spaces and spent 30minutes just to understand that I was wrong, but that's not your problem. Just wanted to thank you for great time, will check out other puzzles of yours ;)

There cannot be blank spaces, as the example dictates. This is an unfamiliar genre, so it's reasonable for some misunderstanding in the beginning. Thank you, I hope you enjoyed it!

I got everything right except the 4 and the 7 near the top right. Messed those up towards the end. So annoyed. Spent 30 minutes trying to find the error.

First time I tried Fillomino, It was fun! I took about 20 minutes though, need to learn to do it faster.

This isn't a particularly friendly puzzle. But if this is the first Fillomino you've ever done, then congratulations!
