[edit] Rules

Am I missing something? I ask because it appears Nuruomino number 1 in Puzzle Box 7 has four valid solutions. - ZM

The missing rule is: "tetrominoes which have the same shapes must not touch each other." --Pitan 23:39, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Ah-HAH! I don't have the issue before me right now, but I believe that will resolve it. I also found a link that, through the magic of Babelfish, answers my next question: this random Java implementation notes that rotations and reflections are counted as the same tetromino for the purposes of that rule. Thanks - I'll plug it into the article. (I openly admit that I determined the original rules I posted by examination of the sample puzzle, not translating the printed instructions.) - ZM Zotmeister 18:58, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

If it makes you feel any better, that's how I got the basis of pretty much all of my rules ... until I eMailed Jimmy and company over at Nikoli and got them to clarify. I got most of them right, but I missed that particular rule as well with Nuruomino. Phil Bordelon 21:24, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] LITS

Nuruomino was renamed LITS in the last issue (#112) of Puzzle Communication Nikoli. Each letter of LITS represents a type of tetrominoes. --Pitan 07:37, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Anyone opposed to my moving the article? I assume not, but... - ZM Zotmeister 15:07, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Source of puzzles?

We ought to have some links to websites with LITS puzzles on. Does anybody know of any? The infoseek site appears to have only one puzzle, unless it just isn't working properly for me.... -- Smjg 01:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
