Mark walls along the gridlines to divide the grid into <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentomino">pentominoes</a> such that each number tells exactly how many walls are among the four sides of the cell containing the number. 10&#215;10. Easy-ish or something.</p>

<p>This puzzle has symmetry, unusual for Five Cells. Mostly toying around with one trick used at least twice that I remember, plus another trick used also at least twice. Yay. Puzzle 10 is ready, but it will be posted when it strikes 00.00 on 6 August (Monday) my time, for a reason you&#8217;ll see&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Update (4-Aug-2012 20:32 UTC+7): Fixed a multiple solution issue.</strong></p>
