Sudoku Variants Series (072) - Coast to Coast

(Published on 14. April 2015, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Coast to Coast
Place the digits from 1 tot 9 in every row, column and 3x3-block. The digits outside the grid are in mirrored position in the first three cells from the left and from the right (if one digit is in the second cell from the left, the other digit has to be in the second cell from the right).

Solve online in Penpa+ (thx Nick Smirnov!)

Solution code: Column 3, followed by column 7

Interesting concept! Quite tough for me.

@cdwg2000

OK, thanks! I thought they could appear in the middle box, i.e. say for row 4 that the 7 and the 8 could go in positions 5 and 6 of that row, but now I know. Thank you!

@Circleconstant314

The external reminder numbers must appear in the first three and the last three mirror positions, such as: XY means C1 = X, C9 = Y or C2 = X, C8 = Y or C3 = X, and C7 = Y.

I'm trying to solve this but the formulations for the constraint have me confused. Is it necessary that the clued digits appear in the first three cells of the row, or could they not appear there?
