Wichtel 2018 (4): Ein spezielles Weihnachtsmarktgelände
(Published on 15. November 2019, 08:12 by wichtel)
A special Christmas market area
Jubilation in Gnomeville's town council: Finally they have succeeded in acquiring a toroidal Christmas market area. Now 24 booths shall be assembled there, all of them of different shapes (even if rotated or mirrored). The market shall fit to Gnomeville's tradition: Each booth touches a Gnomepunchshack. These are the only contacts between booths, but only diagonally. Some signposts show the direction(s) to the nearest booth(s). And all empty cells (those without booth and without signpost) form a loop with numbered cells from 1 to ?. Unfortunately the commune is now after the purchase of the area heavily bankrupt and can not afford any rebuilding of the area. So the existing shacks, signposts and loop numbers have to be used. Does this work? We keep our fingers crossed!
Solution code: For each row (top to bottom) the number of bends in the loop.

Mindestens in drei Weihnachtssaisons hab ich den Weg über diesen Markt gesucht und ihn erst jetzt mit wieder großer Unsicherheit auf den letzten Metern endlich gefunden. Ganz tolles Rätsel, hat viel Spaß gemacht.

@MazzleFlush: According to the instructions you have to use exactly 24 different-shaped markets, and that's what you have done. But now you don't have enough fields to complete the path. And that's because some of your markets are too big.

@MazzleFlush: You simply used too many big shapes.

@Luigi: In der ersten Hälfte sind einige Zahlen falsch. Schau noch mal drauf.

One detail was missing in English description and stated wrong: The loop may not go through signpost cells. Thanks sf2l for asking about htis :-).

Klasse. Solche Stände hatten wir vor fünf Jahren schon einmal, aber hier ist deutlich mehr Platz :-)

Großartig und wunderschön. Ich hoffe, die Gemeinde hat nächstes Jahr mehr Geld, dann können wir uns direkt mit einer anderen Budenaufstellung beschäftigen. :-)
