Hi ! This is
NOB YOSHIGAHARA from Tokyo, Japan.
I enjoyed your pages. Wonderful !
I like young math-puzzlers. I help Japanese, American, Canadian students.
Nob Yoshigahara has passed away on 19/06/2004.
Why he died? God knows it. It may be his latest puzzle.
Many Thanks and Puzzling Forever

I just came across your web site while researching my latest obsession, which is Pentominoes. I love your site! Keep up the good work!! Douglas Holst Artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. |
We projected their site on our TV and students tried the puzzles.
They have quite a selection of zoo animals.
They also have a puzzle for every letter of the alphabet. What's this letter?
Learn more by visiting their site and try it yourself.
I am happy to put a link to your web site so our children can visit your pentominoes site ... it is very good. Congratulations to your web masters.

I have added a link on our website to yours... I think you have a great mathematical challenge to offer.

I love your website!
I have been fascinated with pentominoes for a long time, and enjoyed your animal and alphabet puzzles.
In fact, we have a new project at KMS- we are going to make those letters using your pentomino designs and place them in our front school windows – the letters will be approximately six feet high!
Keep up the great effort and site!
We spoke last fall after I stumbled upon your wonderful pentomino site – I
mentioned that I wanted to make the school initials out of pentominoes and you
asked that I send you pictures if we did – well, it did happen last spring, and
today I did take some pictures to send to you – the students each made an art
design of their choice on a 4”x4” square – we then put these together to form
the twelve pentominoes needed for each letter, and then followed your template
to put the pentominoes in the appropriate combinations – here are the results –
the students enjoyed the project and we have received many comments on its
design and the math connections
Thanks for your site and the efforts you share with all of us

Thanks to the opportunity to give credits to the very nice belgian site on pentominos.
I've composed my '03 wishes for all my friends with their (modified) alphabet.
You can let children play with jigsaw puzzles and try to solve them with less color than I.

You have a great webpage, it looks like youve put alot of work
into it!

Thank you for your e-mail and invitation to your website. It is well
produced, so may I offer my congratulations to you; I enjoyed your use of
colour, graphics and background tiling
There has clearly been a lot of effort put in by quite a few people over a lot of time.
MOST enjoyable, as were the pictures too - thank you for them.
Puzzlingly & magically yours,

I was happy to receive your e-mail and I enjoyed visiting your website.
I thought the Excel file allowing one to play with pentominoes on one's computer was a
very good idea
and I have downloaded it to keep.

It does not seem to work with PIMS's version of Netscape, but it does
work with Internet Explorer.
I'll look at it when I have
time. If the editors of our magazine want to use any of it, they'll get in
touch with you, of course.
It does look very nice. Congratulations.

Thanks for the invitation and the links to your wonderful website. I keep
thinking that one of these days I'll have time for recreational math. I've
bookmarked your pages and hope to interest my grandchildren in getting
involved when they're a little older. Do keep up your good work, and keep having fun with it. Sincerely, Charles Wright |
Thanks for letting me know about your website.
It looks wonderful. I enjoyed playing with
your challenge problem, which I had seen but
never thought about before.

I have looked around on your Web site, which
is very nice. It's nice
that you get comments from all over the world, and I especially like
the little animations that show how the pentominos are constructed
from the tetraminos.
Professor David J. Eck Geneva, New York
I love your web site.
I got interested in pentominoes from my brother. He is very good. He has a book of 6 x 10 solutions.
He also has correlated each piece with the zodiac signs and this really intrigues me.I would love to see that
puzzle. And see if we agree on which piece is which. This is a lot of fun. There is more meaning to pentominoes than just math.
Thank you for your website.

I have had a look and it looks good, nice and
clear. Liked your competition. Do you have previous competitions on your site? - this
would be great for people just finding your site.
Will add a link from my site to yours if ok.
Nice puzzle ideas and your site is looking great
