Sudoku Variants Series (150) - Rank Killer Sudoku

(Published on 11. October 2016, 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.

Number 150; time for a small party!
When I first started this series in december 2013, I thought writing 150 different sudoku variants would be the minimum. And indeed, this goal was easily reached. I still have a lot of fun challenging myself to make something new every week. I learned a lot myself by discovering the intrinsic logics that some variants have to offer. So the series will continue for a while...

For this jubilee I have created one of my favorite sudoku variants. Enjoy!

Rank Killer Sudoku
Place the digits from 1 tot 9 in every row, column and 3x3-block. The small numbers in the upper left of the dotted outlined areas are the sum of the digits in that area. Within a dotted outlined area all digits must be different. A digit ‘X’ in a circle means that the digit in the cell is the X-th smallest number in the corresponding area.

Solve online in F-Puzzles (thx bbutrosghali!)

Solution code: Row 4, followed by row 6.

Mist, bin zu spät dran, ist ja quasi alles gesagt, würdig, danke und so. Dann ergänze ich für dieses Meistetwerk nur noch ein kräftiges: Hut ab!

Very very nice; maybe it should have deserved a 100% rating.
Looking forward to next 150, but
after that you should really get rid of the extra t in classic sudoku rules (1 tot 9) that you have nurtured since Sudoku Variants Series (10) ;-)

Ja, das Lösen war ein Fest. Wenn ich demnächst mal jemandem zeigen möchte, was ich an den Rätseln von Richard schätze, dann löse ich mit ihm dieses Rätsel noch einmal.
