The Answer

(Published on 30. October 2021, 23:26 by Bremster)

This is a beginner puzzle created to celebrate the 42nd video posted to my YouTube channel. It's designed to be solvable by solvers of all skill levels, but still have some nice tricks in it.

Rules:

  • Normal sudoku rules apply.
  • Digits in circled cells are the sum of the digits along each arrow pointing out of that circle.
  • Black dots between cells indicate those cells have a ratio of 1:2. White dots between cells indicate those cells must be consecutive. Not all dots are given.
  • The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe and Everything must appear exactly once in the text (read left to right).

For those who don't know, The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything is "42"

Nice fake with the Kropkis. The solution code would be much more appropriate, I think, if you used row 9. That was fun. Enjoyed it a lot. And thanks for all the fish.

The solution code seems to be wrong

I thought it was just a nice easy puzzle. But I got very confused how to finish it until I took the time to read the rules. Well done!

This was my first go at any sort of variant sudoku. I completed it in about 44 minutes (a bit slow but oh well haha). Thank you for the nice approachable puzzle and a good introduction to arrows and kropki variants.

I didn't read the instructions all the way through and wondered how I would manage to disambiguate the ending. Glad I re-read the instructions! Took 8:14...fun solve!

BremSter: Thanks. I tried to call it out a few times because I deliberately made it that it was needed to celebrate the number.
Glad you enjoyed it. I know easy puzzles tend not to be as well liked; but I had to share this celebration puzzle.
