Infinity loop: intro 1
(Published on 14. April 2023, 23:40 by chameleon)
- The puzzle consists of a series of rings, placed in such a way that each ring has one adjacent neighbor ring on the inside and on the outside.
- Place the digits 1-6 in such a way that no digit is repeated in a row, column, or quadrant of any two adjacent rings.
- The larger cells on the outside are part of both rows/columns of the inner ring if they are adjacent to a cell of the inner ring.
- A quadrant consists of three cells that form a corner of the outer ring with the adjacent cells of the inner ring (six cells in total).
- All rings form a loop, i.e. the outermost ring connects to the innermost ring.
- For online solvers: you can navigate through the layers of rings by zooming in (+) or out (-).
Solve on paper:
Solution code: Digits of the first and the last rows of the outermost ring (8 digits, no spaces). If solving online, the circles in the middle of the grid indicate what is the current ring: click on the first circle to reset the grid to the initial position (which is relevant for the solution code)

My brain has never worked like this before, I solved the whole puzzle and I'm still not sure I get it, but it's really great

I think the first infinity puzzle here was https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0001A8 ,
where immi invented this concept.

Interesting concept, took me a bit to understand what's going on.

I like the infinite puzzle concept a lot (which I'm assuming was inspired by Phistomefel's Infinity Cave puzzle). However, this puzzle felt like just a scanning exercise (which wasn't tedious thanks to PuzzleTV having a conflict checker and a nice UI!), and it felt like it didn't really take advantage of the infinity concept very much. I'm curious what other ideas you have for this type of grid.

Yes, the concept was invented by Phistomefel and Raumplaner. We're exploring it for a while.
We have some harder puzzles with interesting geometry, but approachable introduction puzzles will go on LMD first.
