Puzzle 164: Pearls of Wisdom 19
This one definitely has more black circles than I tend to usually use, I think. :)

Puzzle 161: Streaming Content 13
Taken from Wikipedia: "21 is the smallest number of differently sized squares needed to square the square." What does that have to do with anything? Nothing. But it looks cool.
Puzzle 155: Quad-Wrangle 2
Trivia: I had originally crafted this one long ago, hoping to use it as a sample puzzle for Wikipedia. However, now I'm not into editing Wikipedia as much anymore, unless I see a spelling error or something. o.o
Rules -- Quad-Wrangle
Quad-Wrangle was invented by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli (under the name Shikaku).
1. Divide the grid into pieces along the grid lines in accordance with the following rules.
2. Every piece must be shaped like a rectangle. (A square counts as a rectangle.)
3. Each piece must contain exactly one number, which represents the area of that piece in squares.

Puzzle 152: Totally Awesum 9
Looks like all that energy that led up to puzzle 150 is wearing off. It's been over a week since the last update. . . D:
Puzzle 150: Tetra Firma 11
To mangle a term from my favorite Flash cartoon, it's my sesquicentennipuzzle! :D
The Tetra Firma below measures 31 cells wide by 45 cells high, making it 93.75% larger than the my previous largest puzzle in this genre. But don't let the size daunt you; this puzzle is just as solvable as all of my others -- I tested it rigorously to be sure of it! After all, nothing would be more anticlimactic for my 150th puzzle than a broken puzzle.
If this behemoth isn't enough to give your appetite the slaking it desires, then look into purchasing puzzle books from Nikoli. Penpa Mix 5 contains 18 LITS puzzles, including another 31x45 puzzle, and volumes 20, 21, and 22 of Puzzle the Giants each contain two 31x45 LITS puzzles. However, volume 120 of the quarterly Puzzle Communication Nikoli contains a gargantuan LITS measuring 64x50 -- that's over twice as large as this one!

Puzzle 149: Numeral Crossing 6
Here's another genre I haven't made in a long time; it's nice to see it again, actually. I like varying things up on this blog. :)
