Mannlzeug: Neinerlaa

(Published on 24. December 2009, 18:00 by Pyrrhon)

Today's picture shows a pyramid with a manger scene. Joseph has a Christmas Matins lantern in his hands. Lanterns of this type are used in the Erzgebirge on the way to Christma Matins on the morning of the 25th December.

The Erzgebirgian people celebrate Christmas Eve with a feast, the Neinerlaa (literally: nine different things). There are many rules surrounding the Neinerlaa. It would take too long to mention them all here. But the nine ingredients that gave the Neinerlaa the name have special meanings. The Griene Kließ (raw potato dumplings) will bring money, the lentils or the millet little money, the beetroot red cheeks (i.e. health), the root celery fertility, bread roll milk white clothes (i.e. order in the house). Also important, there must be animals on earth (sausage from the pig), in the air (goose) and in the water (now herring, formerly also carp).

When I decided to make a Neinerlaa puzzle, it quickly became clear there should be a sudoku, because there are nine rows, nine columns, nine boxes and nine numbers. The pioneering role of the components are symbolized in our puzzle by nine kinds of arrows. And to top this, there is sometimes a purple cell border if the sum of the neighboring cells is 9.

By the way, one of the rules of the Neinerlaa feast is, that you may only get up when the meal is finished. So don't stop to solve the puzzle until the puzzle is solved ;-)

Fill in all cells of the grid with numbers 1 to 9. In every row, every column and each 3x3-fat-box each number occurs exactly once.

If there is a purple border between two cells, then the sum of the two cells is 9. (Note: It may be that is the sum of other neighboring cells is also 9.)

There are nine different arrows. They have the following meaning (see also the legend of the grid):

Today's picture shows a pyramid with a manger. Joseph believes this one Mette lantern in his hand. Lanterns of this type are in the Ore Mountains on the way to Midnight Mass on the morning of the 25th December, worn.

In the Ore Mountains to celebrate Christmas Eve with a feast, the Neinerlaa. There are many rules surrounding the Neinerlaa. It would take too long to mention them all here. But the nine ingredients that gave the Neinerlaa the name, are with meanings that influence the way next year. Thus, the grin bring Kließ (raw noodles) big money, the lenses or the millet little money, beetroot red cheeks so (health), the celery fertility, milk bread, the white clothes (that order) in the house. Also important, there must be something about animals that live in the country (sausage), which fly in

(goose) and live in the water (now Herring, formerly also get food for carp) to. When I decided to take a make Neinerlaa puzzles, it quickly became clear there should be a Sudoku, for there you have neinerlaa rows, columns, boxes and figures already. The pioneering role of the components are symbolized in our puzzle by neinerlaa arrows. And to cap it which one is located in two places that neighboring fields have the sum of 9th

Incidentally, one of the customs of the Neinerlaa that you may only get up when the meal is finished. So stop until the puzzle when it is dissolved ;-)

Fill in all fields of the diagram with the neinerlaa numbers 1 to 9 In every row, every column and each 3x3-fat-rimmed areas are neinerlaa numbers, ie each number occurs exactly once.

If found between two fields, a violet field limit, is the sum of the two fields 9th (Note: It may be that is the sum of other fields, between 9th) There are neinerlaa arrows) have the following meaning (see also the legend of the graph:

  • Don't Arrow (orange arrow): the number that is in the cell with the arrow must not occur again in the specified direction.
  • Last number (increasing) (red arrow): the number in the cell with the arrow is the last increasing number in the sequence of cells that are located in the arrow direction. If the sequence is 2-3-5-1-6, the arrow would have a 5. If the sequence is 6-1-5-3-2, it would be a 6.
  • last number (decreasing) (light blue arrow): the number in the box with the arrow is the last decreasing number in the sequence of fields that are located in the arrow direction. If the sequence is 6-1-5-3-2, the cell with the arrow would have a 1, in the sequence 2-3-5-1-6, it would be a 2.
  • different numbers (pink double arrow): The number in the cell with the arrow indicates how many different numbers are located in the arrow direction. For example, if the sequence would be 2-3-2-6-1-3, then the number is 4.
  • hidden skyscrapers (fat orange arrow): The number in the box with the arrow indicates how many cells can be seen in the arrow direction. A cell is visible if all cells in front of it have smaller numbers.
  • pencil (stylized black pencil): The number in the box with the tip is 1 greater than the other cell in that the pencil is.
  • smaller numbers (bold green arrow): The number in the box with the arrow indicates how many fields in the direction of the arrow containing smaller numbers (Note: In the direction of the arrow the same number is possible. This is different than usual with this puzzle format.)
  • pandigital product (yellow ellipse with a black arrow): in the yellow ellipse is the product of the numbers on the arrow. The number is read in the ellipse as a two-digit number from left to right. For example, when the arrow numbers are 3 and , then in the ellipse are the numbers 1 and 5 (3 * 5 = 15).
  • sum arrow (green rectangle with a black arrow): the green rectangle contains the sum of the numbers on the arrow.

I wish nine types of delights with this puzzle, a Happy Christmas and Glück auf.

Note: The hidden version of the last arrows are to my knowledge new conditions for a puzzle. All other arrows are from well-known puzzle types.

Solution code: The two main diagonals, first from top left to bottom right, then from upper right to lower left.

Ein sehr schönes Rätsel. Frohe Weihnachten :-)

Okay, danke. Geb dir recht.

Das sehe ich anders. Wenn so ein Pfeil auf einer "3" liegt und auf fünf Felder zeigt, müssen drei davon kleiner als "3" sein, die anderen beiden Felder sind dann gleich oder größer.

kleinere Zahlen (fetter grüner Pfeil): Die Zahl im Feld mit dem Pfeil gibt an, wieviele Felder in Pfeilrichtung kleinere Zahlen enthalten (Hinweis: Das sich in Pfeilrichtung dieselbe Zahl befindet ist hier, anders als üblich bei diesem Puzzletyp, möglich)

Was heißt das? Dass eine Zahl in Pfeilrichtung gesehen öfter vorkommen kann? Die Zahl, die auf dem Pfeil steht, kann ja nicht in Pfeilrichtung gesehen werden, denn dann wäre das ja keine kleinere Zahl. Versteh ich das richtig?

Tolles Rätsel!

Klasse Rätsel. Und trotzdem es so bunt ist, sind die Hinweise doch sparsam versteckt...

Waaaaaaaa....... von Widerspruch zu Widerspruch hangelnd will ich mir dieses Rätsel noch einmal ausdrucken und sehe, dass der lila Balken gewandert ist.....
..... ..... ..... grmpf.... Hättest Du nicht als Kommentar hinzufügen können was geändert worden ist?

Juhu, Erster. ^^
Das war ein schönes Rätsel, wie auch die anderen Mannlzeug Rätsel, mit denen ich mir in diesem Monat die Zeit vertrieben habe. Danke dafür Pyrrhon. :)

Ausgerechnet Heiligabend habe ich die Bescherung und vermale mich. Das passiert, wenn man während des Neinerlaa-Kochens das Bild malt. Aber früher hatte ich es nicht geschafft.

Ich hoffe das Puzzle gefällt trotzdem.

Vielen Dank - verstanden. Weiter geht's mit der Tüftelei ... :-)

Swotty hat mit beidem Recht (mit letzterem leider).

"•letzte Zahl (steigend) (roter Pfeil): die Zahl in dem Feld mit dem Pfeil ist die letzte steigende Zahl in der Folge der Felder, die sich in Pfeilrichtung befinden. Wenn die Zahlfolge 2-3-5-1-6 wäre, müsste in dem Pfeil eine 5 stehen,..."

Die 3 ist größer, als die 2, die 5 ist größer als die 3, aber die 1 ist kleiner als die 5 (was nach der 1 kommt, interessiert quasi nicht mehr), also ist die 5 die Zahl im Feld mit dem roten Pfeil.

"•verschiedene Zahlen (pinker Doppelpfeil): Die Zahl in dem Feld mit dem Pfeil gibt an, wieviele verschiedene Zahlen sich in Pfeilrichtung befinden. Bei der Zahlenfolge 2-3-2-6-1-3 wäre dies z. B. eine 3."

Hier zähle ich 4 verschiedene Zahlen (2,3,6,1), aber das ist sicher nur ein Tippfehler.

on 25. December 2009, 01:23 by pin7guin
Ja, bitte erklär das mit dem steigend und fallend mal genauer. Ich habe es nämlich auch nicht verstanden.

on 24. December 2009, 22:52 by Saskia
Bei steigender und fallender Zahl machen mich die Beispiele ganz wuschig. Gehst Du davon aus, dass der Pfeil dann von rechts auf die Zeile zeigt?
