(Published on 26. June 2021, 14:49 by ebbelwoi)

LL Jolly Jumper, do you really want to die an early, painful and unfamous death?

What have you done again? - What have you done to the Magic Square?

Did the dancing-fool kick the gift for the wizard again, or was the artist creative?
JJ Oh, Lucky Luke, so you've noticed, huh?
But It wasn't my fault, really, I'm completely innocent, ... and it was only such a harmless, very soft ... well ... kick, barely anything has changed with the square
LL

It is not even a square anymore, you terrorist!

JJ Well yes, I almost forgot, umm, I mean, no, of course not, ... it has much more class now - really sophisticated stuff ...
LL Tell me what happened, or I swear, I'll make a sieve out of your head.
JJ The other day Farmer Baker was in town again, and he had his most beautiful mares in front of his cart, each and every more beautiful than the other ... I mean, really you should have seen their legs ... and I know what I'm talking about, I tell you: legs ... you wouldn't believe your eyes. ...
...
... and then there was Nelly ... I tell you, she's got some legs ... simply out of this world ...
... and then there was Melly ... the cutest legs you can imgine ...
LL but...but...but...
JJ No, her front legs are the most cutest.
LL Well, ...
JJ No, they didn't bring Welly, maybe they were in a hurry or something, although - she has really nice legs for a cow ...
... and then there was ...
LL Zzzzzzz...
JJ ... and then it happened!
LL You jumped like a loonatic, fell to the floor and kicked the gift five times.
JJ Naw, no way, nonono, cowboy, waddaya th'nking of me?
No, no, what happened was: Nelly gave me a quick blink with her left eye! - She really really blinked at me - hehe - you wouldn't believe...
... and then I jumped like a loonatic, fell to the floor and kicked the wizard's gift. But only three times.
LL You kicked it three times.
JJ Well, yes but only very tiny little kicks.
LL With both your backside hooves.
JJ Well, sure, but only really realy tiny tiny little kicks, not even the equerry didnt hear a thing.
LL Yes, because he lives uptown three miles away.
JJ But, ... but it wasn't my fault ... Why is this g'dam present even so large?
LL Oh my goodness, what comes next? Will he rip it into little pieces? Why am I punished with the stallion of the devil himself?
JJ Did you notice how beautifully shiny it sparkles now from the left side?
LL
singing:

... poor lonesome cowboy ...


Here's the image once more:

Ruleset:
  • Antiknight: Cells wich are a chess-knight's move apart must not contain the same digit.
  • Kropki: Numbers in cells combined with a white dot are consecutive, and numbers in cells combined with a black dot have a ratio of 1:2.
  • Broken Magicsquare: The coloured cells (kind of) form a (sort of) magicsquare, the center is purple, corners are green and edges are bluegray. Each row, every column and both diagonals add to the same sum.
  • Little Killer Diagonal: The numbers in cells along indicated diagonals add up to the sum given.
This f-puzzles link is missing the outer lines of the "square".

Solution code: 3rd row and 5th column

LL: I know, I know, it's hard to believe that 12 doesn't equal to 15, but this guy has proven it ...
JJ: Calm down, Lucky Luke, the other night I was dreaming of Nelly, Melly and Delly, and there was 12 legs, I tell you 12!
By the way I forgot to mention: Normal Sudoku-rules aplly here!

You wanna tell me that 12 isn't equal to 15? - I don't believe a single word!
