6 Niagra Falls
Do the numbers always fall as far as possible.
I. e. to the bottom or the top of the first stone?

Is it enough to solve the 4x4boxes, or do I also have to enter all the fallen clues?

The clues need not fall all the way to the bottom, although this is not displayed in the example the rule states, "land at any open cell outside the central grids".

R11.6 Niagara Falls

The four corner cells of each front face are not used by the skyscraper puzzles. Do we restrict numbers from dropping into them? Or assume that would not help give a unique solution?

We will add a line to the rules which states that all clues will fall to become a row/column clue.

Rechecked the rules and the last line already covers this rule : "These numbers do not block each other and must serve as outside clues for the left and right central grids. "

Can anyone answer this? I mean, the rules of Castle Wall states that all white cells are inside the loop, while Koburin cells are always white, so are they affected by the Castle Wall rules and thus must be inside the loop?

The Koburin clues do not necessrily need to be inside the loop. The white cells rule only applies to the Castle Wall clues.
