Featured Puzzle: Aquariums #1 – Aegir Sea Festival
In Norse mythology, Aegir was a Frost Giant that was also god of the sea. He was also the brewer for the Asgardian pantheon. One of his better-known feats is that when emptied, his mugs would magically refill with more ale.
To celebrate this ancient sea god, I wanted to showcase a Aquariums puzzle. The key to figuring these out is to think about how water flows. Shade cells in some regions to represent water inside them.
