Double Trouble - Arrows

(Published on 15. August 2021, 17:22 by Mad-Tyas)

The first puzzle in a new series based on a fairly simple idea. There are marked cells that embody their double value for the rule variations used (here arrows).
My plan is to combine this in further puzzles with various common rule variations.
I think this puzzle shows very nicely how the double trouble rule can add new logical variation to a common sudoku variant.

Rules:

Sudoku: Fill every row, column and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.

Arrows: The digits on an arrow have to add up to the digit in the corresponding circle and may include repeats if allowed by other rules.

Double Trouble: Digits in cells marked with a blue diamond have the double value for arrows.

Have fun solving!

Sudoku on:

(Deactivate "Highlight Conflicts" in the "Settings")
CTC-App

Solution code: Row 2 followed by column 8 (18 digits)

No problem on the break in and then I kept having to restart because I forgot to double some of the arrows on the left. Absolutely silly mistake.
Enjoyable, I liked how it made you consider whether high digits COULD go on arrows for a change.

Fun variation, excited to see more iterations of this idea

Nice puzzle, but I wouldn't call this a new ruleset/variant.

See this 2013 puzzle by Prasanna Seshadri: https://prasannaseshadri.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/puzzle-no-338-weighted-killer-daily-league/

-Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't saw a puzzle using the rule before, but it would have surprised me if nobody had the idea of double counted digits before.

easy start with potential?

- Definitely! I hope I'm able to show it :)

Fun variation that wasn't too difficult, but was still very rewarding. Very much enjoyed.

I first missed the part about '(deactivate "Highlight Conflicts")' which was confusing for me initially because I'm new to f-puzzles. But after that, it was a fun very puzzle. :)

- Thanks :)
