When an exciting new genre like Somedoku comes along, it seems only natural to try it in hybrids with other genres (such as
the "octopus" ruleset). It seems that there is potential in Fillomino Somedoku but I'm yet to find a valid solution on a larger grid that isn't disappointingly trivial. Even this is fairly easy, though I think it retains just about enough interest for a 5x5 grid. I may continue to pursue a larger puzzle with this ruleset: I know the idea has also occurred to
blackjackfitz, so a collaboration may be imminent! For now, enjoy a puzzling snack!
Fillomino: Divide the grid into orthogonally connected regions and fill every cell in each region with a number (not necessarily single digit) representing that region's size. Two regions of the same size may not touch orthogonally.
Somedoku: For each N, row N and column N must contain N distinct numbers.
Even: The number in the grey square is even.
Solution code: Row 3, left to right

I have literally no idea what this means…..

TPP: Hi - you're right to point out that I've been a little over-efficient with the wording of this rule, because quite a few puzzles have already been made with this ruleset! To clarify:
In row N, there are N different distinct digits. For example, row 2 might be "68868", because 6 and 8 are 2 distinct digits. Row 4 might be "16494" because 1, 4, 6 and 9 are 4 distinct digits. The columns work in exactly the same way.
Rows are labelled from top to bottom (the top row is row 1, down to row 5 at the bottom), and columns from left to right (the leftmost column is column 1, across to column 5 on the right).
I hope this clarifies things :)
