Pentominominous
(Published on 22. May 2021, 18:51 by emmettcito)
Here is a variant of pentominous I came up with that I think is quite fun and satisfying. I hope you will enjoy! The rules are as follows:
Standard pentominous rules apply.
Additionally each cell must contain a digit from 1-5 which satisfies 3 conditions.
1: Two cells in the same pentomino cannot contain the same digit.
2: All cells MUST border at least one other cell with the same digit as it.
3: The numbers in cells with arrows must show the number of cells you can travel through (including the cell itself) before you hit a border. (Either one between pentominoes or the edge of the grid). Not all possible arrows are given.

Geht mir genauso. Suche in anderen Rätseln, z.B. in Rätsel 30K: "Zerlege das Gitter in Pentominos, so dass sich gleiche Pentominos nicht orthogonal berühren (gedrehte und gespiegelte Pentominos gelten als gleich)." Ist es wirklich zu viel verlangt, das in den Rätseltext zu schreiben? Letztlich ist es noch nicht mal sicher, dass das wirklich die vom Autor gemeinten "Standardregeln" sind. Es könnten ja orthogonale Berührungen erlaubt sein oder Eckenberührungen verboten.

Ich wünschte, Autoren würden auf Formulierungen der Form "Es gelten ... Standardregeln" verzichten. Rätselregeln sollten auch ohne Zusatzwissen klar verständlich sein.
Konkret habe ich keine Ahnung, was "pentominale Standardregeln" sein sollen.

Wow! Super Rätsel. Tolle Idee.

The rules play really well together and allow for some fresh new logic. I think the difficulty is rather 4 stars, but this might just be due to the novel ruleset. Anyway, I enjoyed solving it a lot. Thank you very much, emmettcito!

I have a small question about rule number 3: is the number of cells you can travel through until you hit a border meant in a straight line in the direction of the arrow or is it the maximum number of cells one can travel within the pentomino starting in this direction until you hit a border?
-It is the number of cells you can travel in a straight line in the direction of the arrow, sorry for not being clear about that.

A lovely puzzle with some really cool unusual logic!
