Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

Kobe Bryant

(Published on 14. March 2022, 19:42 by OGRussHood)

I originally published this puzzle on Discord and it stumped all of the testers, like how Kobe Bryant stumped all of his opponents on the basketball court for 20 years. Can Logic Masters crack it? This puzzle was my tribute to the NBA legend. As such, all of the clues refer to Kobe's jersey numbers of 8 and 24.

Normal sudoku rules apply. Normal killer, little killer, and sandwich rules apply. The V for "victory" in the upper-right box of the grid is an inequality sign indicating that R2C9 has a larger digit than R3C9. In addition, there are four adjacent pairs of cells marked in Los Angeles Lakers purple that represent four different factor pairs that multiply to a product of either 8 or 24. (So "2, 12" is a factor pair for 24 because 2 x 12 = 24, but 12 is not a valid sudoku digit.)

Solution code: Column 8, then column 9. (No spaces in between.)
