At first my intention was to create a medium-difficulty puzzle. But then I noticed that the basic setup of this puzzle was much more restrictive than I had assumed. Suddenly I found myself in the role of the solver who was allowed to discover the logic behind this restriction.
That was extremely satisfying and fascinating and I decided to show just that with this puzzle.
So it has now become a difficult puzzle with several advanced logical steps.
Rules:
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Equalines: On each line the digits add up to the same total that has to be determined by the solver. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by sudoku rules.
Double Trouble: Digits in cells marked with a blue diamond contribute the double value to line sums.
Have fun solving!
The Double Trouble series:
In this series I show puzzles in which, for some cells, the double value of the digit for is considered for the rule variant(s).
The following puzzles have been published so far and show a great variety, with something for everyone.
Doubletime (Difficulty: 1/5, Killer, Easy start in the series)
Double Trouble - Thermo (Difficulty: 2/5, Thermo)
Double Trouble - Arrows (Difficulty: 2/5, Arrow)
Double Trouble - XV (Difficulty: 2/5, extended XV)
Double Trouble - Killer (Difficulty: 3/5, Killer)
Double Trouble - Skyscraper (Difficulty: 3/5, Skyscraper) needs a rating
The Diamonds Will Do It (Difficulty: 3/5, Arrow, Double Trouble cells as symmetry breaker) needs a rating
Wrecking Ball (Difficulty: 4/5, Killer, shows a trick with Double Trouble cells) needs a rating
Double Trouble Celebration (Difficulty: 4/5, Mash-up of all 5 variants, a lot of interesting interaction) needs a rating
Hyperloop (Difficulty: 4/5, Killer, Loop made from Double Trouble cells) needs a rating
Doubles Hidden Inside Squares (Difficulty: 4/5, Killer, Hidden Double Trouble cells) needs a rating
I look forward to any feedback and suggestions about the series.
Solution code: Row 8 followed by column 8 (18 digits)

Solche Kommentare solltest du versteckt machen! Wenn du es (wie z B. hier) gelöst hast, kannst du sie eh sehen. Und wenn nicht, dann kann der Autor dir trotzdem durch Editieren des Kommentars antworten.
