Lügende Rundwege / Slitherlink Liars
(Published on 21. March 2022, 12:15 by Phistomefel)
Here are the rules:
- Draw a closed loop along the dotted lines into the grid. It may not touch or cross itself.
- Some of the numbers in the grid are touching slitherlink clues and indicate how often the slitherlink touches the cell containing the clue.
- Some numbers are liars and don't provide a valid touching slitherlink clue. Every region has exactly one such liar. The regions are the connected sets that are separated by the slitherlink.
The touching slitherlink clues are shown in circles here and the liars are crossed out. Here you find a link to the example.
The actual puzzle is also avilable online via Penpa Plus. Have fun solving!
Solution code: The size of each region outside of the loop, starting in the upper left corner, then going clockwise.

Chose this puzzle for my 1000th solve on the website. I think I chose well.
I loved the break-in when I finally got it, and there was a lot of challenging logic throughout the solve. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Thank you for setting it.

Finally I have solved all of your puzzles, Phistomefel! It was quite a journey indeed. This one was very tricky, and it took me a while to find the correct logic path, but what a beautiful construction once again!
Thank you for setting these amazing puzzles.

Whoever enjoyed this puzzle might also look at the puzzle with ID "CH" from Calavera from some years ago. It was one of the Highlights in the portal back then.

Great puzzle! Very challenging for me, I needed a second session and a fresh look to finally find the break-in, but after that it was steady progress. A very interesting and rewarding puzzle throughout!

@Knitabit: Thanks a lot for the solve and the nice comment! I definitely agree that the second step is not an easy one to find.

That was a great journey again! It was not so hard to find the first (beautiful) hint, but the next step was quite a challenge for me. Now some of the liars are my best friends :) Thank you!

Das war schon deutlich genug. Ich habe es nur im Laufe des Rätselns vergessen.
