About Pips #350

Pips #350 ran on Sunday, August 2, 2026. Each board shows every domino in its solved position: the colour of a half is the region it belongs to, and the small badge marks that region's rule — a target sum, “=” for all-equal, or a “<”/“>” limit. This Hard board used 16 dominoes against 5 on Easy, which is the usual way Pips scales difficulty: more pieces, more regions, fewer forced moves.
