Chaos Construction: Orpheus (10x10)
(Eingestellt am 16. August 2022, 01:09 Uhr von KNT)
Rules:
Place the digits 1-10 in the grid exactly once in every row, column, and each of the 10 regions, except the regions are to be determined. Regions are orthogonally connected. Regions are 10 cells large!
A digit in a clued cell indicates the number of cells seen in the indicated directions combined (including itself).
Region borders obstruct vision.
Lösungscode: Row 10 followed by Column 4

This cannot be healthy ... :)

Great puzzle! This one took me a long time to get into.

Solving this puzzle on my own has given me the greatest sense of satisfaction I've felt in quite some time.

Of course I forgot that I had to use 1-10 instead of 1-9 and therefore had to restart... But that made me appreciate the subtle change in the region logic even more I think. Great puzzle with a step that fooled me for a while (see hudden comment). Thanks KNT.

Really great puzzle, thank you. I found it much harder than the first. Had to restart after forgetting about regions being 10 cells

Superb puzzle.
Exceptionally hard.
Always fair.
And the fun starts when the regions are fully built.

Very hard and time was flying when solving it.

Why does r4c10 have an arrow pointing outside the grid? What does that do?
——
Hi Elliptical, it does not “do” anything, but I designed that arrow to look as such to better telegraph the interaction between some specific clues in this grid.

Wowie, a really nice sequel of an already exceptional puzzle, though still definitely consistently challenging throughout. I love how almost every clue feels important/crucial at certain points :)

Fantastic puzzle. thanks. needed to remind myself once in a while about the XL size of the regions :-)

Very nice follow-up to Ariadne, slightly harder, but nothing impossible!

Even though this has the same break-in as Ariadne, the increase in difficulty is expotional if not explosive. This feels more than an upgrade - rather like going from kid's menu to rare steak.
Until I've tried it, I had no idea how much my thinking patterns are fixated on 9-cell regions. Breaking out of it takes great and continuous effort. And all this even though the puzzle only features geometric and no arithmetic logic - I shudder to think what if ... (Again: This is NOT a challenge!)

Very Nice Puzzle, A Worthy Successor to Ariadne

Lovely region building!
