The weekend is here at long last and we have yet another Hard Pips to solve that’s shaped like a number. This has become very common over the past week or so. This is another “4” though the last one we had was an Easy Pips, and this is considerably more challenging. In any case, we have weekend stuff to do like go out on the town or . . . chores and whatnot. Always chores. But first, let’s solve this Pips!

In Pips, you have a grid of multicolored boxes. Each colored area represents a different “condition” 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.
