Das nächste Zodiac Project-Rätsel wird der fantastische Flinty entwerfen. Sein vorgegebenes Disjoint Set ist das folgende:
Ich wünsche ihm viel Spaß beim Konstruieren und freue mich schon darauf zu sehen, mit welchem Rätsel er um die Ecke kommt.
Zodiac Project, Kapitel 6: Cage Decoder
Als die Raumschiffkommandantin Ukyo Jus auf ihren Bildschirm blickte, konnte sie es einfach nicht fassen: Die notwendigen intergalaktischen Raumkoordinaten waren nicht nur abgefangen, sondern außerdem bis zur vollständigen Unkenntlichkeit verschlüsselt worden. Kannst Du ihr helfen, die Daten wiederherzustellen und damit den weiteren Fortschritt des Zodiac Project zu sichern?
- Es gelten die normalen Sudoku-Regeln, d.h. jede Reihe, Spalte und 3x3-Region muss jede der Ziffern von 1 bis 9 genau einmal enthalten.
- Disjoint Set: Die Diamanten enthalten eine vollständige Menge der Ziffern von 1 bis 9. Mit anderen Worten: Zwei verschiedene Diamanten dürfen niemals identische Ziffern enthalten.
- Buchstaben-Hinweise: Jeder Buchstabe repräsentiert eine Ziffer. Falls ein Buchstabe mehrmals im Gitter vorkommt, repräsentiert er stets die gleiche Ziffer. Unterschiedliche Buchstaben müssen unterschiedliche Ziffern repräsentieren. Verdeutlichung: Der Buchstaben-Hinweis im vertikalen Käfig in Spalte 4 ist ein f.
- Quadrupel: Eine Ziffer in einem Kreis muss in einer der vier umliegenden Zellen vorkommen.
- Killer-Käfige: Ziffern in einem Käfig ergeben in der Summe den oben links angegebenen Wert. (Zwei-Buchstaben-Hinweise werden standardmäßig als zweistellige Zahlen von links nach rechts gelesen, d.h. wenn a die 1 und b die 2 repräsentiert, so ist die Kombination ab ein 12-Hinweis.)
Ich möchte mich herzlich bei CaptZebraCakes und meggen033 bedanken, die das Rätsel getestet haben. Ich wünsche Euch viel Spaß beim Lösen!
Hier kann das Rätsel online gelöst werden:
Lösungscode: Reihe 5 von links nach rechts (9 Ziffern insgesamt)

Thank you for commenting, SamuPiano! I am glad you enjoyed the puzzle. Yesterday, I finally succeeded in solving gdc's Zodiac puzzle. I saw that yours is out there as well and will give it a try soon. It is great to see how the Zodiac puzzles keep on coming.

changed the sudokupad link to include solution check (thanks to QuiltyAsCharged for kindly providing it!), no changes to the contents of the puzzle

Excellent puzzle, and a worthy addition to the Zodiac project. I'm so glad the intergalactical space coordinates could be recovered! I did find it quite a challenge. Easily a 4-star difficulty for me.
Do you mind if I share the CtC link with the solution check enabled? It's https://sudokupad.app/3jdtsh6b5a

Thank you for your comment, QuiltyAsCharged! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. Also thanks for the sudokupad link with solution check. I will include it in the puzzle page above.

Nice Setting. Spoiler alert in Chinese. https://youtu.be/-ZKJ37tSO4A

Thank you for the comment and featuring my puzzle, wenchang! Unfortunately, I don't speak chinese. But let's see how much of your reasoning I can deduce from the pencil-marks/digits you fill in. :)

Dies war 'ne reine Freude vom Beginn bis zum Ende! :D Nicht leicht, aber auf keinen Fall so schwer wie ich zuerst davon ausgegangen bin. Tausend mal Danke!

Vielen Dank für deinen freundlichen Kommentar, LeaVulpina! Es ist schön zu wissen, dass Dir das Rätsel Freude bereitet hat.
Herzliche Grüße, sujoyku

That didn't feel like a 4-star... 3 at most?
**
Thank you for commenting, BorisTheSnake! Of course, difficulty is a subjective thing. But I found this puzzle harder than most of my 3 star puzzles and therefore have estimated it at 4 stars. Thank you for sharing your opinion on that matter.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Absolutely beautiful, how that all unfolds at the end. Great use of the disjoint set.

It was a pleasure to help commander Jus solving this masterpiece of a puzzle. Thank you very much for sharing.

But jokes aside: It was a true pleasure to set this puzzle and it is great to hear that you enjoyed solving it.

Great puzzle! Some tricky stuff in the mid-solve, which I liked a lot. Thank you
**
Thank you for your comment, Snookerfan! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. For me, there are also some steps that I am quite fond of, especially that the diamonds ared used for some key deductions.

added clarification for the f-cage in column 4 (thanks to Niverio for bringing it to my attention), translated "von" to "by" in the english version, corrected puzzle title by meggen033 to "Phase shift" (sorry for the misspelling before), no changes to the contents of the puzzle

Wow, I loved that! I was hesitant to try, because it’s quite hard, but the 100% rating convinced me to have a go. I never got really stuck, logic was very elegant, small babysteps to intergalactic victory :-). Thanks for setting!

You are much welcome, Gullie, and congratulations on the solve! I am glad that you gave the puzzle a try and had an enjoyable solve.

Very nice :) and thank you for asking me to set the next one, I have a few ideas, so fingers crossed it's as enjoyable as this one and won't be too long a wait!
**
Thank you for your comment, Flinty! Since I am a big fan of your puzzles, I am very happy that you said yes. So that is a win-win. :)
If you like me to test a version of your puzzle at some point, please let me know.

That was a hard battle. Very well done commander.

Lovely puzzle :) My only concern is it would be pretty nice if you can make the f cage a bit more visible, it took me a while to realize there was actually a letter in that cage :D
**
Thank you for your comment, Niverio! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. Your concern is justified. I will see if I can maybe fix it with entering some spaces to shift the "f" a little more visible into the cage. (If anyone knows a more elegant solution, feel free to let me know.) Thank you for pointing out this visual issue.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Wow that was quite the journey of a puzzle! Loved the use of the disjoint group! Well done. Great backstory too. Just need to find the space pirate responsible for this intergalactic tom-foolery! I believe it was the notorious EE-One G. Gem! At least I've heard that's his call sign...
**
Thank you for your fun comment, meggen033! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. And your hint might be useful, too. Let's hope for this poor space pirate that he's gone with the speed of light before Ukyo Jus can take some severe measures against him. :)
Kind regards, sujoyku
