  • Use the checklist to help track which dominoes already being placed

Rectangles

[edit | edit source]
  • Draw borders along some grid lines to divide the grid into a set of rectangles, such that each rectangles contain exactly one number
  • All cells are within one rectangle
  • The number inside each rectangle must be exactly equal to the number that grid cells contain.
  • Example, no "4" would contain 1X4, 2X2 or 4X1 rectangle
  • The name rectangle can be meant squares too

Spiral Galaxies
