Thanks. It had been a while since I made one of these. Thought it was time again.
Thanks. I find 16 clues a very nice aount to work with in jigsaw puzzles(mainly because it's under the minimal 17 for classic). I was really happy I could also manage it with the whole centre of the puzzle empty.
It's harder than its rating. I should have rated it higher. I am always a bit afraid to rate small puzzles high though as people will generally work their way through a small puzzle really quickly, if it's difficult or not.
Then the first 3 in the top row wouldn't point to 3 different digits.
You don't need to guess for this puzzle. The trick with most minimal Jigsaw sudokus is that the shapes force squares to be the same number. Try working that in first and then focus on the numbers.
Thanks.
In English they are usually called Four Winds or Eminent Domain.
The ambiguity also arose the first time I encountered this type at a dutch puzzle championship. This ambiguity was resolvable while solving for that puzzle though. I kept keeping both options in mind till it broke to the right interpretation. Just felt this way seems more natural.
It is correct. If there is more than 1 arrow in a cell, it indicates the amount of digits all arrows together point at.

Otherwise a puzzle like this one could never work.

Congrats.

I submitted all but the battleships puzzle, which I just couldn't figure out. I think I submitted a solution just out of time, but found that solution was wrong anyway.

I thought the Letterraam was really nice. The Vlinderslag I found exceptionally tricky. Roosteren I always find fun puzzles. And the Van start tot finish was a funny solution. And the one Mastermind solution was funny.
I think it's not very hard. Especially considering the B/E division over the top and bottom half. It's just different than the normal puzzles and makes you change you normal approach to these puzzles. This usually makes it feel harder.
I think I put it on the border between 3 and 4 when verifying it as I couldn't find a satisfying path through it. The times haven't pushed it down yet.

(ps. Try not to remove the links for the puzzle when editing the opening post. This makes it easier for people to find the puzzle you are talking about)
I agree, the puzzle is pretty hard, harder than I wanted it to turn out. It's logically solvable, but you have to take a few relatively uncommon patterns and use a lot of advanced logic.

This is the idea. Every puzzle has a row and column added to each side to create a new puzzle, but the old puzzles are all within the new puzzle.

1x1


3x3


5x5


7x7


9x9


11x11


13x13


15x15



I hope this image progression makes it all clear.
