(Published on 19. July 2021, 17:03 by tallcat)
Normal Sudoku rules apply
There are a number of lines in the grid. These are either renban lines or incomplete arrows, and the solver must determine which are which.
Renban: Lines must contain a series of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
Incomplete Arrows: Digits on the line must sum to the digit at one end. Digits may not repeat on incomplete arrows.
Note: Color in box 4 is to differentiate lines

This puzzle is evil. That opening is not right. Not right to put into a puzzle at all. Holy moly.

Looked like an easy puzzle since there are so many informations. It wasn't, and every little bit of info is needed just to figure out if the line is arrow or renban. Great puzzle!

Man this is truly a boss fight for me, so many crazy moments happened throughout the solve. And I finally managed to defeat this one after over 2 hours.
Not sure if I was slow or not but my goodness, WHAT A PUZZLE.

I delayed a deduction that made my break-in harder, but the logic in this puzzle is excellent. Very nicely constructed.

The break-in was truly brutal - no aha moment, only tenacity prevails. (Unless, of course, there is an aha break-in but I was again simply not smart enough to find it.)
