A Computer Couldn't Explain This But Can A Human
1,152*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
This is one of those videos where Simon is very unsure in the beginning whether there will actually end up being a video such is the reputation of the puzzle to be attempted! It's called Fillomino 77 and it's an extraordinary creation from Myxo.
We're not sure how to describe this one but do give it some thought - the solution is absolutely incredible. [Editor note: Is Simon a human?]
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal Fillomino rules apply. ie Divide the grid along grid lines into regions. Into each cell, write the size of that cell's region. No two orthogonally adjacent regions can have the same size. The total sum of the numbers on the diagonals indicated by red question-marks is 77. The diagonals indicated by white question-marks cannot contain more than five regions of size 1 in total (but they may contain less).
