Combination Tapa
(Published on 1. January 2011, 20:20 by yureklis)
Paint some cells black to create a continuous wall. Number/s in a cell indicate the length of black cell blocks on its neighbouring cells. If there is more than one number in a cell, there must be at least one white cell between the black cell blocks. Painted cells cannot form a 2x2 square or larger. There are no wall segments on cells containing numbers. Each grey cell should be filled with a different Tapa clue using digits from 1 to 5. Numbers outside the grid indicate the length of first visible blackened block towards that direction.
Unused WPC 2010 puzzle (2nd).
Example:
Solution code: Write the length of black cell blocks from left to right in the marked rows. Use E for empty cells and clue cells. Answer for the example would be: 4EE1,E5E

I got stuck for longer than I'd like to admit because I didn't realize different tapa clues meant unique tapa clues ˘-˘

@Saskia: Ich weiß jetzt nicht, wo genau Du ein Problem hast, aber hast Du in der Anleitung den Abschnitt "Each grey cell should be filled with a different Tapa clue..." berücksichtigt? Also daß jedes Feld einen ANDEREN Hinweis haben muß? LG, Saskia ;-)

Auch wenn es nur zwei Sterne hat, brauche ich Eure Hilfe. Selbst beim Beispiel erkenne ich bei den letzten Kästchen, keine Regel, die sie zwingend füllt oder frei lässt. Wie kann ich damit umgehen? Vielen Dank.

@ch1983: I think you'll have to continue working... Your solution code is ok for the second row, but not for the first. Are you sure you used all different possible clues?

Sehr schönes Rätsel und wunderschön logisch (wenn man bis fünf zählen kann):)

Endlich mal wieder ein Tapa und dann muss man auch noch alle Tapa-Hinweise selber finden. Toll gemacht!
