Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

The individual puzzles should be somewhat easier than 3 stars. But as they have new (or modified) rulesets and you have to solve all of them in order to get the solution code, I have set the estimated difficulty to 3 stars. On this puzzle page, we include short-cut wordings of the rules where only the non-standard rules are explained in more detail. Please feel free to tell us in the comments which variants were your favourites. We wish you happy solving!

- In each puzzle, normal 6x6 rules apply (in puzzle 1 with irregular regions), i.e. each row, column and region has to contain the digits from 1 to 6 once each.

Puzzle 1: Evenly Counting (by sujoyku)

- A digit in a circle must appear in one of the four surrounding cells. Moreover, the digit indicates the number of even digits in these cells. For example, a 2 in a circle implies that the digit 2 appears in the four surrounding cells and they contain exactly two even and two odd digits.

Puzzle 2: Neighbors in the Fog (by chrisjnap)

- Normal Kropki rules (not all dots are given) and normal FOW rules. Clues outside of the grid indicate how many digits are adjacent to at least one consecutive digit in that respective row or column.

Puzzle 4: C‘mon, don’t be a square! (by chrisjnap)

- Normal little killer and normal V rules (not all Vs are given). Digits joined by a square belong to the same entropic set (low digits (1,2), medium digits (3,4) and high digits (5,6)). All squares are given, i.e. any orthogonally adjacent cells that are not joined by square must contain digits from different entropic sets.
