Haha, ich hab so lange gebraucht, aber die eine Regel auch erst am Ende richtig gelesen, oje. Wenn man denkt, dass es mindestens ein Consecutive Knight sein darf und nicht genau einer, dann ist es deutlich schwieriger und am Ende unlösbar. Als ich dann zwei Lösungen gefunden hatte, aber nur eine richtig war, hab ich dann die Regeln nochmal gründlich gelesen... wäre vielleicht auch am Anfang schon gut gewesen...
RailMan: Ja, „genau eins“ ist für dieses Rätsel wichtig. Leider reichen meine Deutschkenntnisse nicht aus, um diese Regeln auf Deutsch zu erklären.
LG euer Honig: alles gut, man muss schon richtig lesen! Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht!

Pretty tricky! At the start, I thought the "exactly one" constraint would make it harder (can't eliminate 1/6 from squares that see 2 others), but after some coloring, it turned out to be very helpful!

Very nicely constructed. Easy but intuitive.

Loving this constraint. This is my favorite of the series so far. Very fun, thanks!
Rail Man: Thanks for solving the puzzles and I am glad you enjoy them.

@GameWorksRP: I was thinking the same thing, but then I read the rule about "exactly one", and looked at r6c6.

I completed the puzzle and am fairly certain there are multiple solutions. You can switch out the 3/4 pairs for 5/6 pairs and none of the rules are broken.
Rail Man: Thanks for solving the puzzle. Swapping 3/4 and 5/6 is not possible as it breaks the Knights constraint - but only in one place so it is easy to miss.
