27x15 (2 in 1: Fillomino and Killer)
(Eingestellt am 15. Oktober 2023, 02:10 Uhr von BenTen)
This is a two-in-one puzzle.
I have provided two ways to view the puzzle: one has both puzzles combined into one grid; the other has links to the two puzzles separately, as you may find it easier to view.
Puzzles 1 and 2 in one grid: - CTC app link - Fillomino/Killer
Puzzle 1:
Rules:
- Divide the grid into fifteen orthogonally connected regions such that no two regions of the same size share an edge, or corner.
- Digits in cells indicate the size of the region it lies within. There is at least one clue for every region.
- Dots (regardless of colour) lie on the border between two regions.
Puzzle 2:
Set-up:
- Digits in the pills in column 5, from top to bottom, are 27 and 15.
- Digits in the centre of cells can be ignored for Puzzle 2.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Each region from Puzzle 1 is now a killer cage.
- Digits within each cage must sum to the same value of 27. Digits can, and do, repeat in cages.
- White dots indicate that the digits in the connected cells have a difference of two.
- Black dots indicate that the digits in the connected cells have a ratio of 1:4.
Alternatively, you can access the puzzles separately below.

I had to reread the rules to part 1 several times until I noticed that regions can't share a corner, lol. Phenomenal geometry!!

Thank you efnenu. Glad you appreciated the geometry. :)
I did wonder whether to highlight the fact regions don't share corners also, but didn't in the end. Hope it didn't slow you up for too long.

Wow, just wow! That puzzle was an adventure, in fact double adventure! There was only one point when I thought there was no solution, but I just made a silly addition error. Took me just over 2 hours to solve. Very engaging puzzle. Thanks for setting

Thank you for your comment, coreng. Glad you managed to find the error and solve.
