SHIKAKU HELP

All prime numbers are contained in a 1x rectangle.  Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 etc. 

Odd numbers cannot be in a 2x rectangle (Example: 9 = 1x9 or 3x3). 

Anytime you have a number beside another number, you know that they are contained in different areas, therefore you know that a line goes between them.  This is shown with the 3 and 4 in the sample puzzle below.

COLOR PICTURE MAZE #1 - BEGINNER LEVEL

This might be the one and only Color Picture Maze I make because it takes so much time to draw it on the computer.  Start from the upper left corner and work your way through the maze changing colors throughout the maze to match the colored dots given to you.  End at the star.  The easiest way to work this puzzle is to double click on the picture and save it to your computer.  Then open it in paint.

A fun new kind of puzzle for you to enjoy...

FILLOMINO HELP

Whenever there are two 2's diagonal to eachother and you know by the rules that they cannot horizontally or vertically share sides, they must be seperated from eachother.

FILLOMINO RULES

Fillomino puzzles are grids that have numbers in them which tell you how to block off the grid into areas.  Seperate the grid by drawing thick lines to block off cells.  Every square in the grid must be used and cells with numbers tell you how many cells are contained in the blocked off area that contain it.  Not all blocked off areas contain a number.  No areas with the same number of cells can be vertically or horizontally adjacent to eachother (in other words, no area of 4 can share an edge with another area of 4).
