Shikakusweeper

(Published on 21. January 2023, 17:14 by KusaneHexaku)

This grid is both a Minesweeper and a Shikaku puzzle at the same time.

Minesweeper

Place a mine into some cells so that each digit has that many mines within its 8 neighbouring cells. Digits may not be mines.



Shikaku

Divide the grid into rectangular regions so that each region contains exactly one digit, and digits matches the size of the region they're in.



Solve on Penpa+
Use the green Edge line for Shikaku, and the Minesweeper tool under Composite for Minesweeper.

Solution code: For each blue ? in reading order, what number it actually is, and how many mines are in its region, as a pair of digits.
(e.g. a ? which is actually a 3 that has 1 mine in its region is entered as "31")

If anyone else is confused, only the circles should have numbers in them. You do not need to fill every cell with a number or a bomb. You need to fill the circles with numbers, and the rest should have bombs or remain empty.

I did not expect the constraints to pair up together so nicely, yet they did :) What a fabulous puzzle.

Update Minesweeper rules to say "mines" instead of "shaded cells"
