A normal set of dominoes has been arranged irregularly into a
rectangle; then the number in each square has been written down and
the dominoes themselves removed. 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. Adler, and takes part of its
name from those initials.

\IM{Dominosa controls} controls, for Dominosa
Left-clicking between any two adjacent numbers places a domino
covering them, or removes one if it is already present. 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. Right-clicking again
removes the line.

These parameters are available from the \q{Custom...} option on the
\q{Type} menu.
\dt \e{Maximum number on dominoes}
\dd Controls the size of the puzzle, by controlling the size of the
set of dominoes used to make it. Dominoes with numbers going up to N
will give rise to an (N+2) \by (N+1) rectangle; so, in particular,
the default value of 6 gives an 8\by\.7 grid.
\dt \e{Ensure unique solution}
\dd Normally, Dominosa will make sure that the puzzles it presents
have only one solution. Puzzles with ambiguous sections can be more
difficult and sometimes more subtle, so if you like you can turn off
this feature. Also, finding \e{all} the possible solutions can be an
additional challenge for an advanced player. Turning off this option
can also speed up puzzle generation.
