This was one of the variant ideas that I wasn't sure if it was going to work very well or not. It turns out that a
Kurotto puzzle that has the added requirement that the shaded cells form a valid
Stostone solution (without given regions) is actually incredibly fascinating. There are so many subtle bits of feedback between the two types that I found quite satisfying to uncover during construction. I hope you enjoy finding them too!
Yeah, I know that's two Kurotto puzzles during this variant series. What can I say, the type can be tweaked in some really fun ways without much difficulty.
Errata: R7C2 has been changed from a 7 to a 5- I missed a possible connection from making both of those numbers the same, originally, and the puzzle had two solutions.
Fantastic puzzle, my favourite out of the ones from the hybrid series that I've solved thus far. You're absolutely correct that the interactions between the two types are extremely interesting. A tough solve for me, but every step of it was awesome fun. Thank you!
