(Published on 26. June 2021, 14:41 by CHalb)

Draw at least one closed loop into the grid. Each loop goes in orthogonal or diagonal steps from one cell to a neighbouring next cell and doesn't cross itself. Loops may cross each other. Put a positive integer in each cell. Each cell belongs to exactly one loop and is visited exactly once. The numbers on each loop form in one direction a sequence of at least two consecutive numbers. The loop is made of at least two complete copies of this sequence.

Example:

Puzzle:

I don't think I'm very smart as I could only really solve this puzzle by semi-blindly guessing possible patterns and trying them out. Is there a definite logical solution path one could follow? If so, I definitely didn't get it haha.

A great concept for a puzzle, enjoyed that one.

Hi Niku, I wanted to answer your question, but it took me some time to solve my own puzzle again. Then I found a mistake in my solving path. So please wait a little longer.

Update: I put a solving path into a hidden comment.

Beispiel geändert nach Anregung von uvo. Nun tauchen in dem Beispiel gleiche Zahlen auch in verschiedenen Rundwegen auf. Danke, uvo!

Das soll jetzt explizit nicht persönlich an dich gerichtet sein, aber ich habe schon schlecht gewählte Beispiele gesehen :-)

Sortiert, also die aufeinanderfolgenden Zahlen folgen aufeinander. Sonst wäre mein Beispiel ziemlich schlecht gewählt.

on 27. June 2021, 14:04 by uvo
Müssen die aufeinanderfolgenden Zahlen innerhalb eines Rundwegs "sortiert" durchlaufen werden, oder wäre auch 7-8-10-9-7-8-10-9 möglich?

on 27. June 2021, 12:43 by CHalb
Kann ich nicht so schlicht sagen. Bitte schicke zuerst nur mir den Link. Ich möchte sehen, wie es sich dort lösen lässt.

Sehr schön.
Ist es ok, wenn ich hier einen penpa-Link poste?

@marcmees: Thank you! And besides my correction I finally saw, that one given should be clearly omitted.

What does "very HP" mean?

"high potential" is exactly what I thought about this puzzle type after it had become clear in my mind. Before accepting this instruction set as standard I took notes for a bunch of variants. I think here is potential for very interesting puzzles and I would be glad if some authors joined me in exploring them.

Oh boy... if this were a bigger puzzle I could see potential for this to be monstrously hard!
