Overheating [Thermo Deconstruction]
(Eingestellt am 31. März 2023, 13:23 Uhr von Christounet)
I'm continuing my exploration of the 11x11 deconstruction grid.
After combining it with other "single constraints" (dots, german whispers and position sums), I wanted to try and set one with thermos. I am quite pleased with the grid I came up with and I hope it will make for an enjoyable solve !
Thanks to ONeill for the test!
Rules :
- Normal sudoku deconstruction apply : Fill the grid with nine non-overlapping 3x3 square regions, such that each region contains the digits 1-9 once each and no digit repeats in any row or column. Cells outside regions do not contain digits.
- Normal thermo rule apply : On a thermo, digits stricly increase from the bulb.
Note : The different colors have no use to solve the puzzle, they are just cosmetic and do not appear on the solvable grid (because the digits/pencil-marks wouldn't show properly). The thermos are all normal.
The puzzle :
CTC webapp (answer check - recommended)
Difficulty should be around 2-2.5/5, depending if you are familiar with deconstruction or not. If you want to learn basic knowledge on 11×11 deconstruction, you can check out Zetamath's deconstruction puzzle, but it is some logic you can discover by yourself pretty easily, so it's up to you.
Enjoy ! And consider leaving a comment if you appreciate the puzzle !

Lösungscode: Row 6, left to right, X for empty cells (example : 123XX456789)

Fun (and rather funny) little puzzle.
Nice logic, and rather approachable.

Resisting the urge to jump to conclusion about the final box placements... the hardest part of the puzzle :D

@Starstorm : Ha ha, that was the trickiest part for me as well ! Making it as I wanted it to be and still manage to have a nice logic to end the puzzle was quite a challenge. And indeed, it ended up being a little harder than the rest of the puzzle. I hope it was enjoyable for you nonetheles :)

My first deconstruction puzzle and what a beautiful puzzle this is, both visually and logically! I did know of deconstruction from some other puzzle on CTC Youtube channel but never tried one myself. Thanks for sharing!

@OldCaptainWZJ : Thanks ! I usually try to make my puzzles look visually appealing, because I find it a nice challenge as a setter to make something beautiful combined with nice logic.

My first deconstruction like this, so it took me a while to work out the implications, but everything flowed nicely. Lovely puzzle!

@alyssa : Well done ! And I see this is your first official solve on LMD, so it's a whole new world you have to discover and explore out here ! Countless puzzles with a huge range of difficulty and genres... If you're interested in deconstruction, I set a couple others that are not too difficult, and you can also find some more challenging puzzles on the portal, just search the keyword "deconstruction". Enjoy !!

I don't know man,your German whisper deconstruction puzzle was easier for me;anyway thank you very much
---
@LehanLehan : I think it very much depends on the solvers, because some people really rushed through that one and struggled more on some counterintuitive aspects of the GW puzzle.

I like these deconstruction puzzles you're doing with a single other constraint. This one was a bit easier than the whisper deconstruction you did previously, but still required me to observe for a bit longer than I thought I would. Very enjoyable though! Thanks!
---
@Paquet Voleur : I'm glad these "single constraint" deconstructions are appreciated, because they are a lot of fun to make ! I have a couple other ideas to keep this little serie going. And yeah, this one was on the easier side, I just wanted to keep it approchable and resolve painlessly after some observations were made at the beginning.
