Sunflower
(Published on 22. September 2021, 19:20 by RockyRoer)
Here's a pretty little sunflower to color to help celebrate the end of summer and beginning of fall (and yes, i intentionally released it on exactly the fall equinox) Beware - this puzzle is challenging! A solution path has been posted as a hidden comment for those of you who are interested! Good luck!
The Rules:
- [Antiknight] Normal sudoku rules apply - in addition, cells a knights move away from each other cannot have the same value.
- [Killer] Numbers in cages all sum to the same total which must be deduced.
- [Ambiguous Kropki] Each pair of cells separated by an orange dot are ambiguous kropki pairs, and must either have a difference of 1, or a 2:1 ratio, which must be determined by the solver.
The Puzzle:
CTC APP: https://bit.ly/2Z2Wtcv (probably a good candidate for multi-coloring mode)
F-puzzles: https://f-puzzles.com/?id=yzuogonb
Solution code: First column and last column (18 digits)

That was a surprisingly colourful sunflower for the longest time. Very nice puzzle.

I'd really love to see Simon take a shot at this one - whether he can do it in under 90 minutes (with his usual extensive amount of explaining included).
