Some more puzzles at the end of this description. With the computer program I wrote to find puzzles as requested in the contest by Ffranconator ( youtube.com/watch?v=K2ata8vp-Js ), I found there are 7 really different puzzles using the first 5 pieces mentioned in the contest only. There are 5 puzzles that appear different, but really they are nothing but inverted cases. When you invert the color of the central 5 magnets on each pentagon you get an inverted puzzle, here this is only possible for puzzles not containing pieces 5 and 6 as their counterparts are not allowed. Some of the puzzles are rather easy, many are really challenging though. In the contest some examples are given, they all have more then 1 solution, but the puzzles described in this video all have 1 solution.
Some more 1 solution puzzles, with piece 6 occurring 4 or 5 times:
pieces : 1-2-3-4-5-6
puz4.1 : 0-5-1-1-1-4
puz4.2 : 3-3-0-2-0-4
puz4.3 : 4-0-1-3-0-4
puz4.4 : 5-0-1-1-1-4
puz4.5 : 5-1-1-1-0-4
puz5.1 : 1-3-1-2-0-5
puz5.2 : 1-3-2-1-0-5
puz5.3 : 2-1-3-0-1-5
puz5.4 : 3-1-1-0-2-5
puz5.5 : 3-1-1-2-0-5
puz5.6 : 3-2-0-1-1-5
