It seems to me that the top-left free square in the 8x8 puzzle (square b7) cannot be included in any region!

I really enjoy this new type of puzzles! Very pleasing to solve. Great site, by the way.

Good eye Jean! (No pun intended.) The eye below that square was actually supposed to be half a square to the left. it's fixed now and should have a solution.

Also, is there an eye missing from the puzzle in the third row, second column? It seems like the top-left corner can't be reached by any of the eyes on the grid, unless I'm missing something.

Also correct, Art. The missing eye would've been at the top-left intersection there. Fixing and uploading the new PDF now...

Are you sure the puzzle in the third row, second column is now correct? It seems I cannot link the bottom-left square to any eye either.

Oops! Not again! Thank for the comment Mischa, and you're right. The bottom left eye should be moved down half a square. I'll fix it as soon as I can, but Inkscape isn't working fully on my new laptop yet.
