The weekend is finally here. It is the first weekend of September and one of the last weekends of summer, so make the most of! It was raining and cooled in the mountains, which music is in my ears.

We can also solve some puzzles along the way. Let’s make today’s pips!

How to play pips

In PIPS you have a multicolor box network. Any colored area represents a different “state” you need to achieve. You have a number of Domin’s products that you need to spend charging in the network. You must use each domino and to achieve any condition correctly to win. There are easy, medium and heavy layers.

Here is an example of difficulty tier pipes:

As you can see, the network has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the other hand, three purple squares must not be one of the same equal (hence the equal sign stopped). Two pink squares next to that must be equal to a total of 0. Zig-zeagging blue square must be equal to each other. Click on Domains to rotate them and they will need to rotate to fit where they belong.

Not shown on this network are other conditions, such as “less than” or “higher”. If there are multiple tiles with> or

• = All pips must equal equal to each other in this group.
• = All pips must not equal to each other in this group.
• > PIP in this tile (or tiles) must be higher than the specified number.
• The correct number (like 6) PIP must be equal to the correct number.
• Tiles without conditions cannot be anything.

To win, you must use all your domins by filling out all squares, be sure to fit each state. Play today’s puzzles here.

Let’s make complete hallways of today’s heavy pips. It starts like this:

It took me a minute to find the best starting point and I initially put 1/3 domino in an orange group orange in a dark blue 3 tile. I realized it wouldn’t work because of the blue 12 group above. So instead, I popped up 0/3 domino and put 1/6 domino directly above him, as well as:

The second phase of this pipse was the hardest. The combination was a bit confusing. I had to fill two 4 tiles (pink and green), but I also end the orange 15 and fills Purpur = state. My first crack didn’t go in that as it took. I had a 6/4 domino from blue 12 in pink 4, and then filled the orange group using a 5/2 domino in a dark blue 2 tile. It has prevented to satisfy the purple = group and green 4 plate.

So I removed the Dominice and tried a different approach. I put 6/4 donated in Blue 12 up in green 4. I then put 2/3 domino into a dark blue plate in purple = because I knew I needed the necessary needs for the purposes of those 3s. I used 5/4 domino in orange 15 / pink 4 and ended the section with Doma 5/5 in orange 15, as well:

The hard part was now prone. The remaining 3/6 and 3/1 Domines I set in purple = / pink 11 and purple = / blue =. Then I put 5/1 domino into pink 11 / blue = and wrap the puzzle with double empty in the open tile / blue =. This is the last puzzle:

Although it was far from the most challenging pipes we have seen, that the central area definitely gave me a run for my money. How did you do?
