It\u2019s Friday and for kids around here, at least, school is out for summer. Time to blast some Alice Cooper. We have an Easy, Medium and Hard Pips to solve, so let\u2019s get right to it and then go enjoy the weekend and summer break!<\/p>\n
Looking for Thursday<\/em>\u2019s Pips? <\/em>Read our guide right here<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n In Pips, you have a grid of multicolored boxes. Each colored area represents a different \u201ccondition\u201d that you have to achieve. You have a select number of dominoes that you have to spend filling in the grid. You must use every domino and achieve every condition properly to win. There are Easy, Medium and Difficult tiers.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s an example of a difficult tier Pips:<\/p>\n Pips example<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n As you can see, the grid has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the far left, the three purple squares must not equal one another (hence the equal sign crossed out). The two pink squares next to that must equal a total of 0. The zig-zagging blue squares all must equal one another. You click on dominoes to rotate them, and will need to since they have to be rotated to fit where they belong. <\/p>\n Not shown on this grid are other conditions, such as \u201cless than\u201d or \u201cgreater than.\u201d If there are multiple tiles with > or < signs, the total of those tiles must be greater or less than the listed number. It varies by grid. Blank spaces can have anything. The various possible conditions are:<\/p>\n In order to win, you have to use up all your dominoes by filling in all the squares, making sure to fit each condition. Sometimes there\u2019s only one way to solve the puzzle. Other times, there can be two or more different solutions. Play today\u2019s Pips puzzle here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Below are the solutions for the Easy and Medium tier Pips. After that, I\u2019ll walk you through the Hard puzzle.

The math might be simple, but figuring out where all these dominoes go is another matter entirely. We\u2019ll start at the \u201c3\u201d which has a couple of Blue 3 tiles that make it pretty obvious where things go.<\/p>\n Place the 3\/6 domino from Blue 3 into Purple 10 and the 3\/4 domino from the other Blue 3 into Purple 10 (in either location). Next, place the 4\/5 domino from Green > 3 into the second Purple 10 and hop over the the = sign where you\u2019ll place the 1\/5 domino from Dark BLue 1 into Green > 4.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Next, place the 2\/4 domino in Green 6 and the 1\/6 domino in Purple 7. The 1\/1 domino goes in the bottom two Pink 2 tiles and the 0\/2 goes from Pink 2 into Orange < 3.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Place the 6\/6 domino from Orange 9 up into Purple 8 and the 2\/2 domino from Purple 8 over into Pink < 3. The 0\/0 domino goes in the next two Dark Blue 0 tiles and the 0\/3 goes from Dark Blue 0 into Orange 9.<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Place the 5\/6 domino in Blue > 10 and the 4\/1 domino from Orange < 5 into Dark Blue 1. Next, place the 3\/1 domino from Pink 3 into the first free tile and the 5\/0 domino from Purple 10 into the second free tile. And that\u2019s that!<\/p>\n Hard Pips<\/span><\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Have a lovely Friday, Pipsqueaks!<\/p>\n How\u2019d you do on today\u2019s Pips?<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, or Facebook<\/a>.
