Puzzle 49 ("Pentominoes", Nanro)

This was originally designed for another speedsetting event in the CTC server, but I decided I wanted to take some more time on it.  Unfortunately, this did not get accepted to GMPuzzles because of the lack of clue symmetry, but I think the solve path flows smoothly enough to give it some more exposure.

    This has some very nice deductions, and a GM puzzles post would have been well-deserved imho. Symmetry is overrated :)

      Thanks! Serkan liked the puzzle too, but the pentominoes theme is apparently common enough that symmetry would still be necessary.
