Cheeky break-in! Is the LM-Puzzle-Storehouse still safe?

Yet another incident in the LM-Puzzle-Storehouse. This time a mysterious burglar managed to break in what had been praised as a high security storehouse for puzzle ideas and competitions. As far as is known, the burglar severely damaged two puzzles. Luckily nothing had been stolen in the process. Quite the contrary the burglar actually left something behind in the puzzles. Fortunately he was watched by an alert Wichtel, who was able to create the following facial composite:

The two damaged puzzles are a Tripel Star puzzle and a Touching Pentominos. In the Tripel Star puzzle there are not only stars in the format 1x1, but also eggs in the format 1x2 (or 2x1), all of which must not touch each other, not even diagonally. In each row, each column and in each area exactly 3 squares have to be used by stars and/or easter eggs.

In the Touching Pentominos in addition to the 12 Pentominos several 1x2-Eggs are hidden. These objects touch each other exactly at the indicated points diagonally. If one lays one puzzle on top of the other, only bounding lines of the easter eggs of the two puzzles may overlap, but not fields.

Already 3 years ago puzzles were damaged by a water inrush in the puzzle-storehouse. This raises the question whether the puzzle-storehouse meets the necessary security standards for the upcoming world championship at all. We hope that soon it will be clarified why those slip-ups keep happening repeatedly and that the responsible individuals will be hold accountable for that.

Solution code: Diagonals of both puzzles from the top right to the bottom left. In the Tripel Star – for an empty field, E for an egg field, S for a star field. In the Touching Pentominos – for an empty field, E for an egg field and the respective letter for a Pentomino field.

Klasse Idee! Und immer wieder schön, wenn man vorgetretene Denkpfade verlassen muss.
