Setting Challenge with XeonRisq (irregular, renban, quads)

(Published on 14. December 2022, 01:50 by Chilly)

XeonRisq and I were wondering what would happen if we both started with the same irregular grid and the same constraints and each made a puzzle. So we did. Here are both of them - "Octoquads" by me, and "Sticks and Stones" by Xeon. To claim the solve you need one row from each puzzle, so you'll need to solve both. Enjoy.

The Rules (for both puzzles):

Solution code: Row 8 from Octoquads followed by row 8 from Sticks and Stones

I also had the doubt about the two crossing renbans in Sticks and Stones, but the puzzle is so nice that it is able to answer that by itself.

Lovely puzzles!

Is there a BIG renban (8 fields) in "Sticks and Stones" ?
Or are those 2 smaller renbans (each 4 fields)?

EDIT: i was able to answer the question myself

Glad you figiured it out - all the renban lines are straight so it's two smaller renbans

The setup of the 2 puzzles is similar, but the logic is quite different. How nice!

Thanks - glad you enjoyed!
