Featured Puzzle: Fobidoshi #1 – Jelly Bean Challenge
Sure, most people are celebrating Earth Day today, but a fun lesser-known holiday is National Jelly Bean Day! (By the way, google “national jelly bean day” – I was pleasantly surprised when I did.) I couldn’t find any details on the origin, though. My guess is that It started as an internet meme excuse to gorge on leftover Easter candy.
Anyway, today’s puzzle is Fobidoshi, using jelly beans on a grid, of course! I’ve started you with a few. Your goal is to place some more beans in empty cells with two simple restrictions:
- No orthogonal stripe of jelly beans may be longer than three cells. Long diagonal lines are allowed.
- Cells with jelly beans in them must form a single orthogonally contiguous group.
Be on the lookout for a future Fobidoshi Solving Guide.
