Ball Python (Masyu/Snake Egg) [TSL][S1T3]
(Eingestellt am 28. Februar 2025, 06:27 Uhr von Calesch)
This was my puzzle for
Turn 3 of
The Skunkworks League, in which we were challenged to create a Permaculture with a particular hole in the grid, from a limited selection of genres and a maximum of 82 cells.
Fun fact: the puzzle can still be solved without the value of N for Snake Egg being given.
Rules:
Permaculture: Divide the grid into 2 regions of orthogonally connected cells. One region is a Masyu (Full), and the other is a Snake Egg (N=8).
Masyu (Full):
Draw a loop that moves orthogonally between the centers of *all cells* in the region, without branching or intersecting itself.
The loop must go straight through a white circle and turn in at least one of the cells on either side.
Snake Egg (N=8):
Shade some cells to form a snake: a 1-cell-wide path that does not branch or touch itself orthogonally.
The remaining cells in the region form 8 orthogonally connected 'eggs' – one of each size from 1-8. A cell with a number belongs to an egg of the given size.
Circles mark both ends of the snake.
Lösungscode: The diagonal beginning in the bottom left corner, with:
0 for snake cells, egg size for egg cells,
'I' for straight loop segments, and 'L' for turns in the loop

I'm amazed by the number of deductions you were able to pack into this tiny grid, and with so few clues!
