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. Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain I will walk you through my procedure for a difficult level. Here’s what it looks like before the beginning: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Only 8 domains today, making this one of the smaller heavy tier pipes we have seen so far. This one is shaped approximately as domino or, if you remove open tiles, number 2. It’s even more interesting, only this pips has only groups and nothing else, and each group must be equal to 8 or 0. This was a bit confusing the game, and I had a fake start to try to move towards the bottom. I was supported and took another crack in this, this time since the middle. I realized that I know that the empty dominoes had everything had to be vertically vertically in groups of 0, which meant that none of them could be in those medium rows. Each “8” group had to include two empty squares, and each had somehow equal to 8 (apparently) that was a bit of a trick, but that could limit our central tiles to a domine without emptiness, and that is half of our total bid. I put 5/6 domino into a dark blue / green, 4/3 domino in orange / dark blue and 2/5 domino in green / blue, as so: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain I wasn’t 100% sure that it would work, but now I had 3 of 4 Domans without emptiness, and that has become good things. That meant I still had all the dominoes I need for 0 groups. Then I put 4/6 domino in orange / purple, leaving me only empty half of the dominoes. I put the first one in the top of the blue / pink tile on the top, which ended my second group for the last 8, and 1 / empty domino in the lower right, as so: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain I only had two Domans at this point. I appeared 2 / empty into the lower left tile and 4 / empty into the upper part of the left and that was it. Here is the final puzzle: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain This was definitely easier than the last pap for a couple that we solved, but at the same time a little harder to know where to start. There were no groups with five or six that had to equal another, and none of the individual tiles were obvious that there was one domino or other. But once you go, this one ends quickly.
