Who will create a puzzle of size 1..8 x 1..8 with record in one of these categories: a) minimum number of cages; b) maximum number of cells in biggest cage; c) maximum number of cells in smallest cage; d) biggest sum of cells in one cage; e) smallest number of cage shapes (rotation and mirroring is included inside same shape); f) biggest number of cage shapes.
May be split in different categories - only one operation or many, without any singe cell cage or with defined number cell.
From michaele(letters in parantheses indicate records according to mikas' challenge)
Now do the last step, change 8 twins to 4 L-shapes.
That was my plan, but I could not make it work , there was always more than one solution to the puzzle. That is why I changed some of the L shapes to smaller cages. It is probably possible to get down to just 1 cage shape using 2 cell cages, I will let somebody else attempt that.
