Double-Digit-Thermo I "The Tree"
(Published on 23. January 2021, 19:04 by Garford)
"The Tree"
The idea to this ruleset stems from darkluigi254. In cooperation and mutual inspiration this little piece of art was possible.
Ruleset:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The tree branches are populated by 2-digit numbers where the tens digit is placed before the units digit seen from the stem (bulb in box 8) (in other words, tens and units digits are alternating along the lines).
The bulb includes the first number, read from left to right.
The 2-digit numbers must strictly increase along the branches. When a branch separates, the 2-digit numbers on all new branches must be greater than the 2-digit number on the preceding "parent branch".
The 2-digit numbers must not repeat across the whole tree.
The puzzle got featured on the YouTube-Channel "Cracking the Cryptic". Link to Video.

Ein Baum mit Äpfeln bzw. Zahlen in Reichweite. Hab natürlich trotzdem zum Schluss die Orientierung kurzzeitig im Dickicht verloren und einen Zahlendreher eingebaut. Zum Glück leicht zu beheben.
- Danke für die kreativen Worte, Krokant! Freut mich sehr!
Sehr schmackhaftes Rätsel, eine ganz tolle Idee und Umsetzung.

Brilliant idea, very smooth and nice solving path. The extra constraint of not allowing repeated numbers led to some interesting stuff. Thanks! :)
