This year I participated in the Secret Impostor event by Scojo. It is a 2 week setting challenge where everyone set a puzzle in their own style in week 1 and then randomly got assigned another participant to impersonate in week 2.
The puzzle here is either by me (representing myself) or by my assigned impostor lmdemasi (copying me). You can find the other half of the pairing here: Split Points (by gdc?). Feel free to speculate in the comments how real they feel but please don't spoil anything (especially if you were in the event).
There were 49 puzzle makers that participated in the event. My Impostor got assigned to me randomly from the other 48. The impostor had 1 week to figure out my style and make their puzzle feel real solely based on my LMD catalog. The order of the 2 puzzles is randomized and I won't reveal which is real.
Thanks to Scojo, Hatgurl and the testers (CalvinBall, NEWS, fahmisack) for making this work. Just like last year, it was incredibly fun and really makes you appreciate the nuances of other peoples styles.
The global constraints from this puzzle originated in Schrödinger Somedoku.
Lösungscode: Digits in light cells in column 7 (skipping multi-digit cells), top to bottom (up to 9 digits).

Awesome puzzle. So much fun. The deduction of the dark cells to fullfill the constraints was very tricky. I was slightly dissapointed not to be able to enter it but only the checkable light cells as solution code. Brilliant setting thx.

Incredibly challenging and every bit as rewarding.

One of my favorite puzzles of the whole event. Not easy sure but very much accessible for the out-there ruleset.
