Your task is to reconstruct the +pattern by arranging the set of dominoes to match the provided array +of numbers. + +This puzzle is widely credited to O. S.

Trying to +place a domino which overlaps existing dominoes will remove the ones +it overlaps. + +Right-clicking between two adjacent numbers draws a line between +them, which you can use to remind yourself that you know those two +numbers are \e{not} covered by a single domino.
