This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:
Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)
…or something like this:
The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

Rules
- Draw bold lines on the dotted lines to divide the board into blocks. Each block has one white or one black circle (a “star”).
- The blocks are (two fold rotational) symmetrical with the star in the point of symmetry.
- Filling in the blocks with the black stars gives the outline of an object (a picture).
Features
This is a Nikoli original puzzle. The name “Tentai Show” has the double meaning of two fold rotational symmetry and astronomical show. In Japanese “Ten” means dot, “tai-Show” means symmetry, and “Tentai” things astronomical.

Solution
Rules
- The areas enclosd by bold lines, are called “Countries.” Move the circles, vertically or horizontally, so each country contains only one circle.
- The numbers in the circles indicate how many cells they have to pass through. Circles without numbers may move any distance, but some of them do not move.
- The circles cannot cross the tracks of other circles and cannot go over other circles.
What is Satogaeri?
Satogaeri first saw the light of day on the pages with Omoro puzzles of “Nikoli Vol. 99” on 2002. The inventor is Z_H, who is making puzzles for nikoli.com now. This puzzle was published in Nikoli Vol. 100 and Vol. 101, too. It was not published after that on paper. We revived it on nikoli.com in 2013 after 11 years.
