Here’s today’s Hard Pips:

Twelve dominoes and one chunky 4-shaped Pips to fix. There’s an apparent location to begin, the good news is, considered that the Orange 0 group needs 3 blank dominoes and we have simply 3.

Action 1

Initially, put the 0/0 domino on the bottom 2 Orange 0 tiles and after that the 0/4 domino from Orange 0 up into Purple = group. In theory it might likewise review into the complimentary tile, however this appears not likely provided the dominoes staying.

Action 2

Location the 4/4 domino in the staying Purple = tiles and after that we can turn our attention to the Green 4 group. We understand this needs to utilize all 4 of our dominoes consisting of 1’s because we run out blank dominoes left.

Location the 1/5 domino from the upper right Green 4 tile into the Dark Blue 10 group. The 1/4 domino goes from Green 4 into Pink =- and the 1/2 domino goes right listed below that into Blue =. At this moment, we might put the last 1 domino, however I didn’t when I was playing simply in case I had among the others incorrect.

Action 3

Location the 6/6 domino in the leading 2 tiles of the upper best Blue = group and the 5/6 domino listed below that from Dark Blue 10 into the last Blue = tile.

Option

The 2/4 domino goes from Purple 2 into Pink 4 and the 3/4 domino goes listed below that from Orange = into the last Pink = tile. The 3/2 domino goes from Orange = down into the last Blue = area. Now you can pop that 3/1 domino from the complimentary tile into the last Green 4 tile and you’re done!

I have actually quit discovering significance in these Pips numbers. If it is some type of sophisticated code, it’s one I will not fix. This was absolutely a more difficult Pips than the last 2 and I needed to renovate my work a number of times, though that’s partially due to the fact that I attempted beginning at the Purple 2 tile before I understood I just had 3 blank dominoes readily available. Beginning in Orange 0 made all the distinction.
