Pairrow Nuri-Maze
(Eingestellt am 12. Januar 2026, 15:43 Uhr von mellowrobinson)
- Nuri-Maze:
- Shade some cells so that no 2x2 is entirely shaded or entirely unshaded.
- All unshaded cells are orthogonally connected, and form the pathways of a maze, where shaded cells are the walls. The maze may have branches and dead ends, but it never loops.
- There is exactly one orthogonal path of unshaded cells from S to G that passes through every circle, and doesn't backtrack. Triangles are unshaded but not on the path.
- Cell Values:
- A shaded cell has a value equal to the number of cells in its shaded group.
- An unshaded cell has a value equal to the number of unshaded cells seen in all four directions, including itself, where shaded cells block vision.
- Pairrows:
- A value V in a cell with arrows targets two cells V steps away in the indicated direction.
- If the arrow cell is shaded, the two target cells' values have a difference of 1.
- If the arrow cell is unshaded, the two target cells' values have a difference of 5 or more.
Solve the main puzzle:
Penpa+ | Sudokupad
Lösungscode: The number of unshaded cells in each of the bottom five rows. The example puzzle code would be 53314

Very interesting concept!
Not sure why the dashes are required in the solution code, I would just remove them… btw the solution code for the example is incorrect!

Only now seeing this a month later, sorry. You are right! I've changed it and fixed the error. Thanks for pointing it out. -mellow
