Triples

(Published on 3. November 2021, 03:40 by zetamath)

This puzzle was inspired by a similar puzzle by Derektionary. Thanks for the inspiration!

Normal sudoku rules apply. Usual rules for between lines, arrows, thermos, whisper lines (green), and renban (purple) apply.

The digits in the killer cage sum to a prime number.

Additionally, every clue contains exactly three distinct digits, and every pair of clues (regardless of their types) in the grid either share all of their digits, or have no digits in common. For example, if the renban contains 567 then the cage cannot contain 751.

Lovely concept! Very smooth solve when the solver understands the implications clearly.

This ended up being smoother than I anticipated when I began with the empty grid. It came together nicely.

I had a very nice time figuring out the implication of the ruleset on the triples, which led to some intuition about their composition. It is funny to note that the deduction about the "triple group" to which a clue belongs is never really hard but requires to pick the right pair of clue to make that deduction.

I really love your puzzles and will probably run out of puzzles from your catalogue quite soon now...

[It has been fun watching you go through all my old puzzles in the catalogue! I'm very glad you're enjoying them! -z]

I had a very similar feeling solving this puzzle as I did when I solved your two truths and a lie puzzle. I know that the rulesets are entirely different, but the puzzle of figuring out which set of 3 digits allowed for a valid combination of a given restriction was very enjoyable.

Well done zetamath! My puzzle (00076H, shameless plug) only uses thermos. It's very neat how your other variants interact with each other!

You really have a knack for finding rulesets that allow for some fresh and interesting logic, zetamath. Thank you for creating this lovely puzzle.

Very nice! I really liked the opening logic :^)

One of the rare times where I had to use Notepad to visualize; once I worked on it for a while, I realized how much restricted the options were in this puzzle. Very cool puzzle :)
