Abstract: Logic puzzles form an excellent set of problems for the teaching of advanced solution techniques in operations research. They are an opportunity for students to test their modelling skills on a different style of problem, and some puzzles even require advanced techniques to become tractable. Fillomino is a puzzle in which the player must enter integers into a grid to satisfy certain rules. This puzzle is a good exercise in using lazy constraints and composite variables to solve difficult problems.
