Rätselwochenende: Table for Four - Battleship
(Published on 26. November 2014, 16:40 by uvo)
This puzzle was part of a team round "Table for Four" from the recent puzzle weekend.
A similar team round appeared first at this years WPC. In this round, teams of four players had to solve puzzles in four colours; each player had a coloured pen (red, green, blue, black) and wasn't allowed to write in a different colour. Each puzzle has grid size 9x9, and in each colour 20 cells have to be marked; one cell remains empty. No cell can be marked in more than one colour.
By comparison the rules at the puzzle weekend have been changed slightly: Instead of coloured pens, the players were given coloured chips (20 red, yellow, green and blue) which had to be placed on the puzzle grid. Each player was allowed to place only chips of his own colour; no other items were permitted. If you would like to solve the puzzles in this way, here is a PDF with puzzle grids in proper size.
The clues outside the grid apply only for the player with the corresponding colour; the players are seated at four sides of a table, and clues are always orientated towards the player with the corresponding colour.
The rules for each player are:
Place the given set of ships into the grid. Ships cannot touch each other, not even diagonally. Clues outside the grid show the number of occupied cells in the corresponding row or column. Some ship segments are given on the grid - it is up to your team to determine which colour each segment belongs to.

Solution code: The marked rows from left to right: for each cell the first letter of the corresponding colour (R=Red, Y=Yellow, G=Green, B=Blue) or X for an empty cell.

War sehr schoen zu loesen, nachdem ich mich endlich mal von meinem hartnaeckigen Denkfehler verabschiedet hatte. Super!
