Temperamental Triplets
(Published on 16. September 2022, 17:34 by rockratzero)
The Layers of Entropy puzzle pack is out! The pack features puzzles with entropic lines, the original Entropy constraint, as well as some other variants, with 27 puzzles ranging in difficulty from a dozen excellent setters. The pack is
available for download on BremSter's Patreon (thanks to BremSter for hosting!).
This particular puzzle, a collaboration between me, Raumplaner, and jeremydover is the "hard mode" version of a puzzle "Mercuric Triplets" in the pack, specifically set here for the LMD audience as more of a challenge than the original. We hope you enjoy!

Wow, our SKORPian solved this puzzle in just 3 minutes after solving the previous one (“medusa” by zetamath), that’s amazing——

Great puzzle! Thoroughly enjoying the entire pack from you guys. The global entropy ruleset is really interesting and you learn something new from it for every puzzle, it seems. Thank you!
