HöhlenSTIL
(Published on 21. July 2024, 21:00 by Phistomefel)
- Shade some cells in the grid such that all unshaded cells (the inside of the cave) are orthogonally connected to each other and all shaded cells (the walls) are orthogonally connected to the edge of the grid. Clues are unshaded and indicate the number of unshaded cells seen in the four orthogonal directions, including itself. Shaded cells obstruct vision.
- After the cave puzzle is solved, the cave and the walls each can be seen as a region. Use these regions as basis for a LITS puzzle.
- Place one tetromino into each region. No two tetrominoes of the same shape may share an edge - reflections/rotations count as the same shape. All tetrominoes must form a single connected area. No 2x2 area of the grid can be completely covered in tetrominos.
Solution code: Row 7 and column 8: For each tetromino cell the according letter, X for a wall cell and H for a cell inside of the cave.

Brillant idea! once you understand the core logic, it becomes a delicious snack. Thanks :)

I don't understand what the solution code is meant to be. I'm pretty sure I have the puzzle right, so I think that is why I can't get it. Can anyone explain?
----
You go through row 7 from left to right and then through column 8 top to bottom. If a cell contains an L-tetromino, write L into the solution code. If it contains an I-tetromino write I and the same for T- and S-tetromino. If the cell does not contain a tetromino and is part of the wall write X. If it does not contain a tetromino and is in the cave, write H.

Ah ok. Thank you. Great puzzle

Changed the solution code due to difficulties on the phone.

That was simply awesome!

After understanding the core implications of the puzzle I think it is more intuitively solvable than purely logically :)
