Coordinate Chaos
(Eingestellt am 13. Februar 2022, 06:38 Uhr von grkles)
Digits X-Y-Z in a pill (read top-down or left-right) indicate that the digit Z can be found in row X, column Y.
Each pill crosses two region boundaries (i.e., there are region boundaries between X and Y and between Y and Z), and for each pill, the cell it references must be in a region containing that pill.

Amazing puzzle, once you get the hang of how the pills are working it solves pretty smoothly indeed! :)

I spent 5 hours staring at this because the rules on CTC do not clarify that each pill has 3 region areas. I interpreted it as each one having exactly 2 regions, not just borders. Please add the same rule clarification to CTC.
Puzzle is great

Very fun and enjoyable puzzle! Quite a couple of sneaky points to spot but all were resolved in a nice way :)

Very nice indeed! I was expecting the same thing as henrypijames (in the hidden comment) as well :-)

Thanks, henrypijames!

@twobear: It means that the referenced cell must belong to the same region as (any) one of the three cells in its indexing pill.
Very nice logic, 3½ stars difficulty for me.
