KrOops!ki Sudoku n°2
(Published on 19. May 2020, 11:00 by Carrick22)
Apply classic Sudoku rules : Each row, column and 3x3 region must contain the digits 1-9 once.
- Kropki rules are as follows : when two digits are consecutive, a white dot is placed. When a digit is half the other (e.g. 3/6, 4/8 etc.), a black dot is placed. All possible dots are given. A 1/2 pair can be indicated by either a black or white dot.
In this puzzle however, some of the digits gliched out and are now treated as zeros in regards of the Kropki rules. We do however know that each row, column and 3x3 region has only one gliched number, and every gliched number is different (i.e. two gliched cells can not contain the same digit).
You can use Penpa-edit for solving it on your browser.
Solution code: Row 7, followed by column 4.

When a zero is present on a Kropki puzzle, it can be placed next to a white dot if adjacent to a 1. It is not half any other number (2×0 = 0, and two zeros can't be next each other), so it cannot be placed on a black dot.
Furthermore, it means that whatever is placed in the gliched cell is not considered anymore. If a gliched 6 is next to a 1 and a 3, it has no longer a black dot on the 3/6 link, and has now a white dot on the 1/6 link (since it's now a zero).

Hi. Can you please clarify or give an example of "treated as zeros in regards of Kropki rules"? Does that mean that a white dot correspond to a 1 close to the gliched cell? Thanks a lot
