Wichtel 2018 (11 und Schluss): Die Rätselerstellmaschine
(Published on 18. March 2020, 18:02 by wichtel)
The Puzzle-making Machine
Just as Santa Claus is out for a while, one of his gnomes decides to try the puzzle-making machine secretly. But yet as he enters the puzzle type (something with loops), Santa Claus returns unexpectedly. The gnome makes it in time to hide himself, but when Santa Claus leaves again the machine has already generated the puzzle without the possibility for the gnome to make further specifications. Excited he takes a look at the result:
"Ok", thinks the gnome, "the influence of Masyu circles goes as well across the borders of the Masyu, neighbouring cells to empty cells in the Country-Road have to be visited by the loop even if they are in another quadrant, in the standard area the loop goes as usual on the edges instead of from one cell center to the next and only cells in the Yajilin quadrant may be blackened. That's going to be a fine present." And in an instant he's gone with the puzzle before Santa Claus might return unexpectedly.
Solution code: Number of not visited cells in the Masyu quadrant; number of not visited cells in the Country Road quadrant; number of given 2s in the standard quadrant inside the loop; number of black cells in the Yajilin quadrant.
