Happy Birthday Dumediat: A Double Feature !!
(Published on 10. September 2023, 04:15 by wisty)
• The top portion of the grid is a valid "Interference" puzzle with a variable number of regions containing the digits 1-6.
• The bottom portion of the grid is a valid "Embark" puzzle with a variable number of 2x3 and 3x2 regions containing the digits 1-6.
• Each portion of the grid has its own loop, clues, and regions, which do not cross the border. Digits, however, cannot repeat in any column spanning the whole grid.
• Squares are always in regions and count how many of the surrounding 8 cells are visited by a loop.
• Cells separated by a triangle must sum to a multiple of 3. If that sum is 0, there must be a loop segment passing through the triangle.
Solve on Penpa+ here.
Solution code: the digits and line segments in each "row 3" of the grid, using T for turns, S for straight segments, and X for empty/shaded cells

Thank you SO MUCH for this puzzle!! I am in awe at how many different types of deductions you were able to build into this puzzle. The rule sets interacted extremely well together too...I could never have asked for a better gift! :D
