Fill Rank Fullomino
(Published on 31. May 2023, 13:26 by Myxo)
A combination of Fillomino and Full Rank. This is easily one of my more difficult puzzles, but also one that I am very proud of. I recommend solving on Penpa+ (or on paper), since it allows to take notes on the outside of the grid. I hope you enjoy!
Rules:
Divide the grid into regions, such that no two orthogonally adjacent regions have the same size. Write the size of its region into each cell. In this puzzle, no regions of size >9 are allowed.
Reading the rows and columns from both directions yields 36 9-digit numbers. Those numbers must all be different. Ranking those numbers from lowest (1) to highest (36), a clue represents where in the ranking that row or column (read from the direction of the clue) lies.
Solution code: row 7 and column 5

Wonderful from start to finish, a cascade of amazing logic. A real piece of art, thank you! :)
A second penpa page with 36 lines to keep track was much helpful

Hat super viel Spaß gemacht! ;-) Aber ich mag full-rank generell sehr gerne (auch die anderen Rätsel hier im Portal).

Wow !
So interesting, packed with unique, astonishing and unforgettable deductions (and not too hard, I just overcomplicated some steps) ! And the fact that this comes from 10 seemingly random numbers is also outstanding.
Thanks for setting this unbelievable puzzle !

Simply incredible. I wonder why it's not at 100%...
And a tip to others, if the answer check doesn't work for you in Penpa+: delete the numbers from the border :)

Took me nearly 3 hours to solve it. I am not regret though because it is such a brilliant puzzle.

Ok, that's enough counting to 36 for one day... And phew, I almost had a heart attack when the answer check did not trigger ! But the solution code works, so I guess I made it :) What a journey, way outside my confort aone as a solver/setter. But enjoyed it all the way, little bit by little bit ! Thanks :)

Absolutely bonkers. The way column 5 resolves is mesmerizing. Definitely one of the six-stars puzzle.
I broke the puzzle once by making a bad assumption about the digits that can be in the middle, even though I have only restricted digits in the outer three rings.

I absolutely love this ruleset and the implementation is just perfect making this an exceptional puzzle (and also not too hard, just unusual).
