Featured Puzzle: Nondango #1 – Rubber Ducky Hunt

Happy Rubber Ducky Day! I swear, there’s an internet holiday for just about everything. The first patent for a rubber duck was by Landon Smart Lawrence in 1928.

Today, we’re retheming a Japanese puzzle called Nondango. Dango is a popular street food, small balls made from rice flour skewered on bamboo sticks. But I thought instead of simply shading circles, we could hide some rubber ducks.
