Glitter! That fascinating creation that can make up pleasant dreams for some people, and nightmares for others. Seriously I think I just finished cleaning up the glitter from a project when I was FOUR! This stuff is like cockroaches and survives everything...
Anyway, stepping away from that tangent. It took a long while to figure out how to relate this topic to puzzles. Just what could I give you that could apply to glitter?
Well, I decided to give you what I like to call a Fish Tank puzzle. Below you will see a grid that is 5x5. There will be smaller groupings in that grid (the big black lines). Each tank is made up of several small 1x1 boxes (the grey lines [and black lines when it is an edge of the tank]). These grey lines are inside the tank and used as markers to tell you how many boxes make up the tank. There are a few rules for you to follow when playing:
1. In columns and rows where there is a number, that many boxes need to be filled. Columns without numbers may still have slots filled.
2. If two boxes are side by with only a grey line to separate them, they both fill at the same time.
3. You do not need to fill a tank all the way to the top.
4. If there are two boxes on top of each other with only a grey line to separate them, you cannot fill the top one without filling the bottom.
5. Each tank MUST be filled with a different color. What color you assign each tank doesn't matter, but each needs to be different.
Here you have your Fish Tank Puzzle and rather than water, you decide to fill them with glitter. Using the directions above, fill the tanks:
