Sleepy Farmers (CC)
(Eingestellt am 26. Juli 2026, 12:33 Uhr von gdc)
Third approachable chaos construction in a row. According to testers (thanks everyone!) this should be the easiest of them at around 1.5 stars. Hope you enjoy!
Sheep: Digits joined by a sheep are consecutive and in the same farm.
Farmers: A digit on a farmer counts the number of sheep in his farm.
Lösungscode: The digits in the farm which contains the center of the grid (r4c4), in western reading order (7 digits)

Clean CC with tricky but satisfying sudoku to finish it off. Thank you!

Overall, incredibly enjoyable puzzle! I found this really hard finding the break-in in the sudoku part of the sudoku. It was a 3* break-in for me, but maybe I missed something obvious.
[Edit] Here's something I wrote to gdc, which he politely humored, even though I was missing something very obvious :)
@gdc: the rules don't say that each farm only contains one farm. It does say "A digit on a farmer counts the number of sheep in **his farm**" so I can deduce it's one-farmer-per-farm, but it's not spelled out.

gdc: I deliberately don't include a rule that a farm cannot contain more than one farmer. It is true that the possessive "his" could be interpreted like that, but that wasn't my intent. I'll go more into detail in a hidden comment.

1.5 star for me, with a small stumble towards determining the last two farms' borders. Had to go back dozens of steps to see my mistake, but it never felt particularly difficult. Lovely CC puzzle!

Good puzzle but a bit too hard to be considered "approachable"

Brilliant, lovely theme! The break-in of the sudoku part of the puzzle was quite tricky, but overall a 2 star puzzle. Thanks
