W h a t  I s  P a i r s

Pairs is as simple as fascinating. You have a board filled with 180 blocks and each of these shows one of 24 different motives. Your task is to find a connection between a pair of identical blocks with less than or exactly two 90 degree angles. If you do so, both blocks will disappear and you must repeat that procedure until the whole board is cleared... or until the time runs out.
