hutt's puzzle dump

 I found this genre relatively difficult to set because I wasn't able to grasp the theory of the falling logic and the same-size constraint makes it rather explosive at times. Yet, I was able to gain an appreciation for the sorts of logic that this genre can provide: the second puzzle especially seems like a strong exploration. https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?gravel/7/7/00000000603000000zzh6h2h3 https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?gravel/9/9/0000000000000000000000000003k41zzzk41l

 The original purpose of this blog was to act as a sort of portfolio for my puzzles. The name was inspired by a term used by another puzzle blogger which I interpreted as describing a large set of puzzles all posted at once, as though they had been dumped out of a large bin or something. After catching up to the present, I began treating it like a place for puzzles to go once they'd been moved on from. The name eventually became a bit less appropriate since I also on special occasions post puzzles exclusively here, most notably the Puzzletober series.  It's also grown into more of a blog because of the advent series and these monthly updates. Yet, I'm typically curt, as oftentimes there's not really much to say. Veni, vidi, construxi. A post doesn't need lots of words to offer a satisfying puzzle.

My first thought upon seeing the new genre: https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?scrabble/8/11/zzzzn/4/HEY/SCRABBLE/GOT/IMPLEMENTED

 These Choco Banana puzzles were made between 7/3 and 7/5. They share a special pattern in their solution paths. https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?cbanana/7/7/n36k6w6k63n https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?cbanana/8/8/h56h1o5m6t6i6i5o1l https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?cbanana/8/8/u85m4m-10zl-10ci https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?cbanana/17/17/u-10ieue-31l7k-10zr9s3i3s3u3i-10z-2azl-10j3zl3g8zq5h-10h43n3zj

 This puzzle was set on 7/2/26 to contribute to a discussion on whether requiring the two regions to be of equal size contributes any difficult logic. I learned the trick required for the break-in from a hint on a variant sudoku. Since it's not something that I expect the average solver to have in their back pocket, I'm going to outright say here that the idea is to apply Pick's theorem. Variant rule: There must be an equal number of black and white circles. https://pzprxs.vercel.app/p?yinyang/v:/6/6/1i000i202000
