Zero-Sum Sudoku 2
(Published on 2. February 2021, 22:21 by CaceClosed)
- Normal sudoku rules apply to the **absolute value** of *every digit from 0 to 8.*
- The solver must shade every cell to assign a positive or negative value to every digit such that *every row, column, and box must sum to zero.* Zero is to remain unshaded.
- The positive or negative value assigned to each digit is the same throughout the puzzle i.e. if it is determined that 1 has a positive value in a cell, then 1 must have a positive value in all instances of 1 in the puzzle.
- Arrows can include repeated digits and the sum of their *actual values* (positive or negative) is in the circle.
- Digits along a thermometer cannot repeat and their *actual values* must increase from the bulb end.
Solution code: Actual values of row 8 followed by column 8 with no spaces (34 characters). Ex. Row values of [+1, +2, -3, -4, 0, -5, -6, +7, +8] --> +1+2-3-40-5-6+7+8
