Sudoku + Arukone ... coded
(Published on 20. June 2018, 12:18 by DarkBeamIta)
I just prepared those two games; one was an arukone with no straight paths (no path covered a 2 x 2 area), and another a sudoku with irregular regions. Both puzzles use digits 1 to 9 then the alphabetic symbols A and B.
All of a sudden a bad gremlin replaced some of the hints with letters from C to Q, using his red blood >:(
I am sure that if a hint was replaced with a letter in a puzzle, the correspondence holds also in the second puzzle! Luckily I wrote the lengths of all paths in ascending order, whew!
Can anyone reconstruct the game? ;)
(Again, A and B are not coded clues, they are normal clues. All coded clues are written in red)
Solution code: ROWS 3 + 9, sudoku. Use digits 1 to 9 then the alphabetic symbols A and B.

Echt knackig, besonders das Sudoku hat es in sich.

@tuace: Ahh, jetzt wird Einiges klarer... (Gut, dass ich gefragt habe :-))

@Statistica: Von Feldmittelpunkt zu Feldmittelpunkt = Weglänge 1. ;)

@jessica6: Bei einer Länge von 2? Wie das?
on 22. June 2018, 08:32 by jessica6
@Statistica vielleicht ZUSÄTZLICH, dass jeder Pfad mindestens einmal abbiegen muss?

@ibag: Danke. Aber was bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang "ohne gerade Wege"? Das hat nichts mit der 2x2-Regel zu tun?
on 21. June 2018, 23:28 by ibag
@Statistica: Wenn ein Weg irgendwann mal von R2C1 über R1C1 nach R1C2 gegangen ist, dann darf er nicht nach R2C2 weitergehen.

I really don't know how to rephrase the definition for you...
Each path in every single point does not cover a 2x2 square if you take it singularly

What does the 2x2-rule exactly mean? I don't understand it.

And thank you dm_litv for explaining!

Super!!!

See dm_litv's comment, btw you can expect the answer thinking about the puzzle itself, what's missing on that Arukone? ;P

Hier können unterschiedliche Buchstaben den gleichen Wert haben?

Thank you

@zorant so yes L can be 1 to 9, or A or B, NOT 10 or 11 ;)
on 21. June 2018, 10:00 by DarkBeamIta
@zorant in both puzzles, and actually in the solution as well, A and B take place of 10 and 11; because it's simpler than having to write two digit numbers. Also it's explained in the description
on 21. June 2018, 09:46 by zorant
only A and B can take value 10 and 11 or this values can take rest letters, ex. L=11?

Clarified & edited text thanks ;)

Thank´s! :)

A few clarifications of the rules (as I have understood them).
0. aKuRone = aRuKone (standard, with digits as clues).
1. Different letters CAN represent equal digits.
2. 'A' and 'B' - are not letters; those are numbers 10 and 11 (in Arukone and Sudoku also).
Ah, and don't forget about 2x2 path restriction in Arukone.
Keeping all this stuff in mind - the puzzle is not hard, fully logically solvable and quite funny.

Hmm. Ich versteh das Arukone nicht. Da gibt es schwarze Buchstaben, schwarze Zahlen und rote Buchstaben. Gleiche Zahlen verbinden? Oder sagen die was über die Länge der Linien aus? Was ist dann mit der 1??
