X-Sums Fillomino #2 (6x10)
(Published on 1. February 2021, 19:55 by Jesper)
Rules
Standard Fillomino rules apply:
- Divide the grid into orthogonally connected regions
- Each square must contain a number equal to the number of squares in its region
- No two regions of same size may share an edge
Additionally: clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the first X digits in the corresponding direction, with X being the first digit in that direction.
As in standard Fillomino, any positive integer is allowed in the grid, however a number X (next to a clue) cannot exceed the number of squares in the respective row or column.
Example (6x6):

The puzzle follows:
Solution code: row 6 followed by column 9

It's surprising how many traps I'd encountered during the mid-solve, that was such a great way to resolve towards the ending! Thanks for this cool puzzle :)

It is a really good feeling when I almost have proof that it is unsolvable when I realise that I am solving too much sudoku :) Thank you.

Nice again ! I found this one slightly harder than the #1, maybe because there were less clues. But I found my way through and it was beautiful.

What a great puzzle for its size! Very nice logic in such a small space.
EDIT @Mark Sweep: thank you very much! Nice to hear that you enjoyed it.

Jesper--while this puzzle wasn't that difficult, the solution path was very unique and unexpected! I can imagine this was very difficult to set.
EDIT @harrison: thank you very much for the nice comment! I actually created this while 'just' trying to set a 6x6 example for the previous puzzle (X-Sums Fillomino #1). But then I realized that it would make quite a neat stand-alone puzzle with rather few clues, if I just expanded the grid a bit sideways.

Darf im Raster auch eine zweistellige Zahl vorkommen? - In diesem Fall gäbe es aber ganz viele möglichen Lösungen...
EDIT @Faxi: ja, zweistellige Zahlen sind erlaubt. Ich bin mir sehr sicher, es gibt nur eine Lösung.

Tolle zwei Rätsel, hoffe, da kommt noch mehr ;-)?
EDIT @Statistica: vielen Dank! Ja, es wird wahrscheinlich etwas dauern, aber ich bin dran an #3 :-)
