Saturday finally. The weekend is here, Pipsqueaks! It’s time to celebrate. I guess the best way to celebrate the weekend for a terrifying solid solid like you fine Fink, is with a puzzle! Let’s lay down Dominos!
Friday‘With pips? Read our guide here.
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 To win, you must use all your domins by filling out all squares, be sure to fit each state. Play today’s puzzles here. Below are solutions for simple and medium plates. After that, I’ll walk you through a difficult puzzle. Spoiler forward.

It starts like this: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain This is a very obvious ship or ship. There is a mast and sails, briefs and troops and sterns there in the back. Avast, Mateis, let’s set the sail and show these lekers, how it works! Step 1 There was a clear starting point in today’s PIPS. Only one domino can go into green 5 tiles on the promotion of the ship. I set 5/1 of green 5 in dark blue 2. I then put 2/0 domino from dark blue 2 in pink 0, as so: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Step 2 I decided to keep doing my way from the front back. Moving down into the hull of the ship, I knew that Green 18 Group had to be all 6 years old. So I put 5/6 domino from purple 5 in green 18 and 6/6 Domino there at the bottom, as so: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Step 3 Switching to the stern, I had someone to do. And orange = and purple = required 5 same numbers. It could only be 2 or 3 years at this time. But it was a mark. The blue 1 tile could only be 1/2 domino. With the dominance without 1/3 domino, this was my only option. So I set 1/2 domino from blue 1 in purple =, then 2/2 domino at the top of the stern. I put 5/2 domino from dark blue 5 in purple = and 2/3 domino from purple = in orange =, as well: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Step 4 Move to the mast, I set 0/3 domino from pink 0 in orange = and 3/3 domino on mast. Then I set 0/4 domino to just the bottom of the ship, as well: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain At this point, with only a few domains, it was simply a matter of knowledge that could affect the right amounts. I put 3/5 domino with orange = in blue 9 and 3/4 domino with orange = in a free plate. With pink 2, I knew we needed two remaining 1 pip dominoes, so it was just a matter of setting up those in the right direction and this pips was solved.

The world is a big place filled with wonder and beauty. Point me in the direction!
