Tower Defence #1
(Published on 17. March 2020, 09:40 by Feadoor)
I constructed this as practice for the recent GP round, since it was a new puzzle type.
Place a number from 1 to 6 into every cell of the grid so that each number appears exactly once in each row and column.
A number N in an uncircled cell "attacks" those cells at an orthogonal distance of exactly N from itself. A number K in a circled cell does not attack, but instead must be attacked at least K times.
Solution code: Column 1, Column 5

Can someone please tell me where I can find the IB and puzzles of the 3rd Swiss Grand Prix round containing Tower Defences? Sorry, I do not see them on worldpuzzle.org.

Klasse! Tolles Rätsel und eine interessante neue Rätselart mit beeindruckend einfachen Regeln. Ich verfolge die GP-Runden nicht und freue mich sehr, solche Rätsel im Portal zu finden. Vielen Dank an ropeko und Feadoor :-).

Ich fand es richtig schwierig mich reinzudenken, hat aber Spaß gemacht, die Logik zu finden. Muss die entsprechenden Rätsel vom GP doch noch mal machen.

Rather tricky! Thank you for the nice construction! It‘s funny to solve already puzzles here from the new type I created for the GP :D

Thank you for the clarification!

The distance referred to is the distance between the centres of the cells involved, if each cell has a width of 1 unit.
In other words, the 2 in R4C4 attacks the four cells R2C4, R4C2, R4C6 and R6C4.

Stupid question perhaps but this is a new puzzle type so I want to make sure I perfectly understand the constraints and the rules here. Does this distance N also count the cell which contains the digit? For instance, does the 2 in R4C4 attack R6C4?
