Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

PLEASE READ: While setting "Butterflies" (the final part in this series), I made an assumption in the logic, which was missed in testing. The assumption was that the arrow beginning in r6c1 is not the odd one out. It is still possible to solve the puzzle uniquely, but proving that the arrow in r6c1 is not the odd one out is much harder than I initially intended and requires a step that could be considered an unreasonable bifurcation. Thank you to Lake for featuring this on his stream and helping to spot this error.

I have decided not to delete or rework the puzzle as the rest of it contains some original and interesting logic that I'm very pleased with, and it's already been out for a few weeks and is unlikely to get many more attempted solves. Nevertheless, I apologise to anyone who has already attempted this, and to anyone who wishes to try the puzzle, you are welcome to make the same assumption I made!



This series, which features identical grids with changing rules, can be played by clicking on the image above and following links in each puzzles' solution message.
Alternatively, feel free to skip to:
- Part one (Caterpillars), est. difficulty 2.5/5;
- Part two (Cocoons), est. difficulty 2/5;
- Part three (Butterflies), est. difficulty 4.5/5.

Butterflies is the "main event" as this features the Full Rank Arrows that I introduced in my submission to the Caterdokupillar organised by Memeristor. I wanted to create an adapted version of this puzzle to publish on LMD, which explores similar logical ideas but is different enough that solvers are still motivated to check out the full Caterdokupillar!

When I realised I only needed to tweak a few of the lines for the puzzle to become unique and solvable with the exact same line placements and two different rulesets and a running "Odd One Out" motif, I knew I had to pursue the caterpillar theme to create three linked puzzles. The first two puzzles may not blow your mind, but they do include a satisfying amount of interesting logic for puzzles whose existence is essentially just coincidental, based on the the arrow placements for part three. This way, Metamorphosis can also be considered my revenge for the 45 puzzles with identical line placements that I solved while judging turn one of The Skunkworks League!

Thanks to my dad, LMDemasi and Sotehr for help with testing.
