Walk Without Rhythm
(Published on 8. December 2021, 05:13 by Bremster)
Created to celebrate Rangsk's 69th Stream, and also posted as the 69th video on my channel.
The goal was to make a puzzle that could be turned upside down and still be uniquely solvable, while still being an interesting puzzle for Rangsk's stream; which focuses on not too difficult puzzles for most of the solves so they can be done in about 30 minutes.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Along thermos, digits must strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
- Black dots indicate the adjacent cells have a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
- In black cages, digits must sum to the digit in the cage.
- Purple cages are Wyrm cages. Digits placed in these cages point to that box in the grid, and the cell in that box that would be in the same position as the pointing cell IF the box was rotated 180 degrees.
The given purple digits in the wyrm cages must be pointed to in the target cells.
eg if the digit in r5c4 was an 8, it would point to r8c6.
Note: This puzzle can be turned upside down and will have the same solution.

As the rules for this puzzle may be confusing with the rotational cages, you can see me explain the rules on my solve video for this.

Solution code: Row 6 then Column 9 (18 digits, no spaces)

Very nice sudoku! Thank you also for the video explanation on the Wyrm cage rules, I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise from the text. Great puzzle!

This puzzle is very cool!
It's amazing enough that it even solves with 180 degree symmetry.
But it is also a really nice fun solve too. Great job!
