Animal Farm Rebels

(Published on 14. September 2021, 17:05 by Will Power)

There are several different kinds animals on the farm, each represented by a unique pentomino shape. Each pentomino contains the same sum as all others. No number can repeat inside a pentomino. There is a maximum of one pentomino of each type (including rotation and reflections), except the pigs. The pigs have taken over the farm and created an orthogonally continuous area of 16 cells that only pigs can enter, and in that region, SUDOKU rules are not required to be followed. ie: If the numbers in this region were removed from the grid, normal sudoku rules would apply to the remaining numbers (Maximum of one of each number from 1 to 9 in each column, row and 9 cell box). Your job is to divide the completed grid into 16 pentominoes of equal sum (plus one remainder), and determine which are the pigs.

Solution code: The number of pigs and then the one number combination that is not repeated in the pigs (from low to high numbers). Example: If there are 3 pigs and there is a unique pig combination of 12369, the answer would be 312369.

Been attempting this one on and off for a couple months now to no success. Sit down with a mate and we get a solution in half an hour. Funny how these things work out :)
Thanks for the very fun puzzle!

@Matthew Humphrey I'm glad you were persistent! Hey, that's what mates are for, am I right? One other one to do with a mate might be the favorite one I have ever set. It's called "The Great Escape". Others with different rules are "Minesweeper Galaxy Sudoku", "Mingling Swarms", the set with the word "Crystallization" in the title, and the set from the 12 days of Christmas, in December, 2023. Thanks for playing. Peace to you. -Will Power

Loved it! Proud to add my name to the much too short list of solvers. Also appreciated the choice of pentomino for the pigs! 8-)

@pms_headache Peppa Pig? 8-) -Will Power

Wow this was beautiful.

@damasosos92 Thanks. I think that I released it way too early, since nobody knew me in 2021. So, the non-standard rules must have turned most people away. The same thing probably happened on "Galaxy Minesweeper Sudoku". Peace to you. -Will Power
