Chaos Construction: Disconnected (1)
(Eingestellt am 15. Mai 2024, 19:36 Uhr von KNT)
A number in the top left corner of a cell indicates the sum of the numbers in the orthogonally connected section of the region that cell belongs to. A colored cell indicates the size of the orthogonally connected section of the region that cell belongs to. All possible colored cells are given.
A 5x5 example is provided:
Lösungscode: Row 3, Column 2

Crazy cool puzzle! Still fondly remember the logic even a month after solving – so it made an impression!

really, really nice

Cool puzzle. The diagonally-connected regions are very interesting and forced me to un-learn everything I thought I knew about chaos construction. Surprised at how few clues were necessary to fully constrain the grid.

A nice appetizer!

Great ruleset. Great deductions. This is just an excellent puzzle.

Will the main puzzle's size be 8x8 or 9x9?

Amazing! Super cool how little information is needed to resolve everything, with a great flow along the way.

@Arabus the red X means that the number in that cell represents the number of orthogonally connected cells in that part of the region. For example, if you have a 5 in a cell with an X, then that cell is in a region with 5 orthogonally connected cells and the sixth cell will be connected to them only diagonally.

i don't understand the x clues.
X indicate the number of cells of their respective sections (i.e. max 6). I'm guessing the X represent a unkown number 1-6. Are all x the same number? If not i don't see what the last rule does :)

This was delightful!

Truthfully I was a little skeptical about the diagonal disconnects, but this was amazing! I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Thanks for the puzzle. It was awesome :)

Cool ruleset and a fun puzzle!

Very interesting concept, I'm kind of excited for the bigger size!
I actually wonder how many times you broke this one while setting because of how absurdly strong the negative constraint is x)

A fantastic puzzle that really made great use of the negative constraint. Shudder to think of the 9x9 version. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Wow! Very cool puzzle!!!

such an amazing puzzle, loved the way regions and x clue interacts

Oh, I get it now, thanks

@elNubNub, in this puzzle, a group of orthogonally connected cells belonging to the same region form a "section", and a 6-cell region consists of 1 or more diagonally connected sections. In extreme case, those 6 cells in a region could be all connected diagonally and each section would have a size 1.

Fascinating idea! Thanks for constructing it!
am 16. Mai 2024, 15:32 Uhr von elNubNub
The word "section" in the second bullet point. Does it mean the cells that are orthogonally connected to the region ? Or something else ?
am 16. Mai 2024, 15:11 Uhr von KNT
@elNubNub: If you don’t understand something, please be specific. Otherwise no one will be able to help you.

The wording section is not defined, and after 15 minutes of reading and trying, i can't figure it out

Brilliant ruleset and puzzle! Thank you

This was really fun!
I loved every deduction

Awesome, looking forward to 9x9 :)

Promising ruleset :)

a lot more intricate logic than a 6x6 usually has! lovely ruleset.
am 16. Mai 2024, 03:39 Uhr von Silverscree
My poor brain! Trained as it is to "squeeze" regions through small gaps and trace paths through mazes. Some excellent, and very fresh logic in this puzzle. Thanks KNT! I dread the 9x9 version that I suspect will appear eventually...

Phenomenal, as always!

Really nice! Enjoyed this immensely but, as with others, I await a 9 x 9 with a mix of anticipation and trepidation.

i am scared of a 9x9 of this D:

Wonderful really original ruleset, very much looking forward to a larger version :)!

Nice ruleset. Thanks for the puzzle.It definitely feels like more is coming.

@ONeill hopefully I get a 9x9 working soon :)

Nice ruleset and a fun, easy (warm-up?) puzzle :)

Intricate and fun to solve - thanks :-)

Lots of logic for a 6x6. I like the rules a lot - looking forward to a larger puzzle like this
