Chaos Construction: Seven
(Published on 30. December 2021, 14:48 by Phistomefel)
Here are the rules:
- Write each number from 1 to 6 exactly once into every row, column and region. The regions first have to be determined and each of them is a set of six connected cells.
- Two orthogonally adjacent cells belong to different regions if and only if their digits add up to 7.
- Digits increase along a thermometer starting from the bulb end.
Solution code: First and last column

Slightly cheated by putting this into a software that supported multi-coloring, but regardless of that I'm very happy to have finally solved one of your puzzles. Thank you very much, this was great!

Sehr schön! Bis zur entscheidenden Einsicht wirkt es fast unlösbar, danach geht es sehr locker von der Hand. Hat mir großen Spaß gemacht :^)

@SudokuExplorer: Thank you for the question! Two orthogonally adjacent cells that lie in different regions have to be spearated by a wall. Sorry for the unclear formulation!
on 30. December 2021, 20:57 by SudokuExplorer
Regarding rule 3, it says that each wall separates two orthogonally-adjacent cells part of two different regions. So does that mean that there may be a pair of orthogonally-adjacent cells part of different regions which are not separated by a wall?

To imagine such idea for a puzzle like this is quite an impressive task there, I laughed so hard after spotting the trick. Thank you for the good laugh! ;)

Rule clarification.
on 30. December 2021, 15:57 by Phistomefel
@Piatato: Yes, there is a negative constraint. I will write things more clearly in the rules.
on 30. December 2021, 15:50 by Piatato
Is there a negative constraint?
