About Patches #141
- Patches #141 splits an 8×8 grid into 4 patches.
- Clue shapes: 1 square, 1 tall, 2 free-form.
- 2 clues show no size, so those patches can be any area.
- It has 4 patches, fewer than the average of 8.9 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- Each patch is one rectangle holding exactly one clue, with the clue's shape and, where a number is shown, exactly that many squares.
- Squares R1C3 and R2C3 can only be reached by the free-form 15 clue at R3C3, so they belong to that patch.
