Bicycle [extended XV - virtual sudoku]
(Published on 19. September 2021, 05:11 by SimplePurpleFrog)
Inspired by countless hours of trying to keep up with Cracking the Cryptic and the clarity of Clover's setting masterclass, here is my second shot at setting.
This hand-crafted puzzle does not need bifurcation, long chains, nor does it require full pencil marks.
My goal: something fun and novel.
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Arrows: the digit in the circle is the sum of the digits on the arrow.
- Diamonds: the two digits either side of a diamond sum to 5, 10 or 15. Not all diamonds are given.
- Cage: digits in the cage sum to the small number in the corner (digits may not repeat).
Please let me know how you get on.
Play it on F-Puzzles (note: the Diamond constraint does not work in the solver or conflicts checks, I'm afraid you have to do this yourself).
Additional tags: Arrows, Cages.
Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn mir jemand eine Übersetzung meines Rãtsel ins Deutsche zur Verfügung stellen würde.
Solution code: All digits from left to right and top to bottom in row 3 and column 9

The "fix" was in just in time :-)
Very elegant solve, some new twists and quite enjoyable, but not easy...
Thanks for the puzzle :-)
