The King

(Eingestellt am 18. September 2024, 19:33 Uhr von vitaminz)

This puzzle is dedicated to my dad, inspired by this week's Scojo prompt suggested by heliopolix (using points from ViKingPrime). A huge thank you to Marty Sears for testing, inspiration, rule clarity, and surely other help I'm forgetting. Without our discussions I probably would have left this in it's "v1" state. Please leave a comment if you enjoy it!

RULES:

Normal Sudoku Rules Apply

The King's Law states that for a digit X, exactly X instances of the digit X are a king's move away from another instance of the digit X. However, two of the digits 1-9 (to be deduced) are rebellious and do not abide by this law. In fact, a rebellious digit is never a king's move away from another instance of itself.

The grid is partially covered with fog. Correctly placed digits will clear the fog around that cell.

Watch on Cracking the Cryptic

Lösungscode: Row 4 from left to right, with the "rebellious" digits removed (7 digits)

Brilliant, one of my new favorite puzzles! Also, I haven’t seen anyone mention it, but I believe knowledge of the Phistomefel Ring is needed to solve this puzzle.

Was a huge pleasure to test and help to hone this stunning puzzle - such a simple core idea with far-reaching consequences that take you into unexpected and surprising places. The break-in is satisfying, the middle is smooth, and the ending is delicious. What more could you want? I think this is my new favourite Vitaminz puzzle.

Very enjoyable! I really liked the break in on this one. Took some time to think through the global constraint, but very satisfying. Great construction!
