WSC-Training: Clueless Hidden Classic
(Published on 7. October 2019, 18:33 by JonaS2010)
Clueless Hidden Classic
Classic Sudoku rules apply to each of the nine grids. Also, the nine central 3x3 blocks of the grids form a tenth puzzle, the "hidden classic", which has to be solved using standard sudoku rules. The cells of the hidden puzzle are marked grey for your convenience. Additional rules are as follows:
Top left: 1~9 Sudoku: Clues indicate the sum of all numbers placed in between the digits 1 and 9 in the row or column.
Top middle: Nonconsecutive Sudoku: Two digits in orthogonally neighbouring cells can't have a difference of 1.
Top right: Classic Sudoku
Middle left: Palindrome Sudoku: Digits along the grey lines form palindromes, that is each sequence reads the same forwards and backwards.
Middle: Classic Sudoku.
Middle right: Consecutive Circles Sudoku: Digits on a circle must form a consecutive sequence. It is part of the puzzle to find the starting point for each sequence. Not all circles are given.
Bottom left: Classic Sudoku
Bottom Middle: Perfect Squares Sudoku: If two cells contain a two-digit square number in reading direction this is marked with a small square. All possible Squares are given.
Bottom right: Next to Nine Sudoku: Clues outside the grid show all direct neighbours of the digit 9 in that row or column.
The puzzle with a higher resolution for download: PDF
Solution code: Enter the first five digits in row 1 for each of the nine grids, going from left to right and top to bottom (45 digits).

Great set. At the very least, it gives me an idea how challenging international competitions can be; provided my lack of expertise at this point.

A Beautiful puzzle well constructed. Luckily the real one at Kirchheim was not so tough....

@flaemmchen: streng aufeinander stimmt schon.

Da ich bei beim "Consecutive Circles Sudoku" jetzt schon mehrmals einen Fehler hatte, muss ich doch mal nachfragen:
sind die Ziffern streng aufeinander folgend, also z.B. 1/2/3/4 oder wäre auch 1/3/5/6 möglich?
Danke!

Ich habe mehrere Stunden lang versucht, das Rätsel unten in der Mitte mit Primzahlen statt Quadratzahlen zu lösen... Nachdem ich bewiesen hatte, dass es keine Lösung gibt, hab ich dann doch nochmal die Regeln gelesen. ;-)
