Pointed Chaos
(Eingestellt am 30. Juni 2023, 20:03 Uhr von yttrio)
I have initially listed this as 5 stars for difficulty, though it may be on the easier side of 5 stars.
Rules:
Chaos Construction: Each row, column, and region must contain the digits 1-9 once each. Regions consist of a set of nine orthogonally connected cells and must be determined by the solver.
Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the arrow's bulb.
The digit in each arrow's bulb is also equal to the number of cells from the same region (including itself) that the bulb sees in all orthogonal directions combined. Region borders block the view.
6x6 Example:
The image below shows a sample 6x6 puzzle and solution with the same rule set.
Play the example 6x6 in f-puzzles.
Play the example 6x6 in SudokuPad.
Lösungscode: Row 5 with hyphens where there are region borders (e.g., 123-4567-89)

Very nice puzzle. A lot of interesting deductions. I'd put this one on the high side of 3-stars difficulty if you've seen the diagonal arrow break-in before.

Phenomenal! So hard for me to ask the right questions, but once asked the answers were pure elegance. Halfway in things finally clicked and it was silky smooth up to the glorious last circle :)

This is such a clever puzzle! It was very hard for me but it is so satisfying to have finally been able to solve it. Would love to see it solved on CtC or on any other channel to see the optimal solve path. I think I did find the true solve path. Thanks a lot for sharing this great great puzzle!
