As Xyie Fourseasons said before realizing this is a preview of an LMI test, “oh noes, we can’t reflect symmectrical shapes! what evah shall we do? hurr durr hurr. :-B”

Hey, they (Preview 1 and 2) were fun! The empty grids intimidated me at first, and I thought the solutions wouldn’t be unique, but the logic flows nicely, and the solution is indeed unique.
Preview 1: Once you get the break-in point, everything else is easy. The ending is quite rough, but I learned a new trick to be applied on open places with many identical numbers…
Preview 2: The placements of the shapes are fun. Once you get the shapes, you get the solution.
P.S. If you ask why I’m commenting Preview 1 here, it’s because being by phone is bad for Blogger blogs (read: no mobile Blogger). xD

Shouldn’t there be a 13 in the solution? How is that represented?
