Wichtels Rätselherbst 2025 (9): Höhle der Versuchung
(Published on 18. November 2025, 20:25 by wichtel)
To Christmas 2024 some eager puzzlefriends have again arranged a group in which everybody had to make anonymously a puzzle for someone else. These puzzles are now presented one after the other here in the portal.
In keeping with the annual tradition, the tireless gnome was busy preparing his series of gifts. And this time the recipient was none other than Plough Imp, the inventor of a new and eye-catching genre. As the gnome sat at his drawing board, he had an idea. He began by sketching a Cave, with standard shading rules and clues on the inside of the cave. But then he continued by decorating the walls of the cave with the invention of Plough Imp, thereby ensuring that the Walls had sizes of 1-16, once each. This would certainly be a fitting gift for his puzzle friend!
Solution code: The number of shaded cells in each row, from top to bottom.
