Xexit debate heats up further!
Our correspondent has reported the latest news about the impending Xexit from Alexandria, where the situation is sharpening. About the true identity of digit X still only speculations are known and it appears as if the agreed strict nondisclosure is kept up. But since by now Xexit-supporters and opponents are blockading each other completely, one does not know to what one should adapt oneself.
At worst, we‘ll have an unordered exit of digit X, in which in a split-second telephone numbers and car registration numbers could not be assigned uniquely anymore, just to take an example. Especially the deep-rooted lottery community is urging to hear about what to expect. Extraordinarily fanatic players have been blocking the entrances to the congress hall in Alexandria for hours now and demand to reveal at least the identity of X so that they can adjust their betting systems.
On the other hand the puzzle community shows some ambivalence. While some puzzlers are totally shocked and do not know how their life should continue, others find this situation not so unattractive. "This definitely could be a great inspiration for entirely new puzzle types“, a puzzler is fancying, who already has solved our expert‘s puzzle which was rather intended as a deterrent. Whether or not he will be proved right only time will show.
In the meantime we received already a second expertise by our anonymous puzzle expert, which this time is supposed to demonstrate the consequences for Japanese Sums.
Here you can see a Japanese Sums (1-6), where the hints outside the grid of some rows or columns were given by Xexit-supporters (red in the solution), others by Xexit-opponents (blue in the solution). As one can see, the Xexit supporters completely ignore the digit X when summing, and X is treated like a black cell that separates sums. From the hints outside the grid, the supporters completely erase the digit X, no matter whether it appears individually or as a digit in a multi-digit number. Xexit-opponents, on the other hand, treat the digit X both in the diagram and in the sums outside the grid as any other digit.
Again, here a larger example (1-9) so that the readership can familiarize itself with this extremely tricky situation:
Solution code: Row 2 and column 4, S for blackened cells.

Wenn man mal keine Fehler mehr macht, dann geht's auch durch... Super schön, tolle Idee und das passendste Thema, das dafür herhalten kann. :D

Ganz großartig! Anfangs unübersichtlich wie die Mehrheitsverhältnisse im Unterhaus, aber logisch lösbar. Sie sollten sich in UK ein Vorbild nehmen. Vielen Dank an das Erstellerpärchen.

Großartig.... und ließ sich glücklicherweise schneller auflösen, als die schon dreijährigen Brexitverhandlungen.

Ein ganz super-wunderschönes Rätsel.

@Statistica: kann verschieden sein.
on 2. April 2019, 13:22 by Statistica
Ist das zwingend die gleiche Ziffer X wie im ersten Rätsel oder kann die verschieden sein?

Ganz fantastisch, vielen Dank!

Ich habe mir zwar schon ein paar Zähne an diesem Rätsel ausgebissen: Aber was für eine geniale und spannende Rätselidee! Nach dem ganzen Brexit Gedöns ist Xexit eine aufreibende Alternative!!
