Diagonal Numbered Rooms
(Published on 7. April 2022, 20:28 by Mr.Menace)
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Diagonal numbered rooms: clues outside the grid indicate the digit which has to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the digit placed in the first cell in that (diagonal) direction. Example: if r1c1 is a 3, then because of the 9 clue the top-left of the grid, 9 goes into r3c3. Digits may repeat on diagonals, so the digit N points to the first of the clued digits it encounters. The first cell also counts for the Numbered Room rule, i.e. a digit X (other than 1) cannot appear in the first cell seen from the clue, even if it points to the clued number in the Xth cell in the direction of the arrow.
The puzzle is also available on F-Puzzles and CTC. Have fun solving!
Solution code: 5th row and 5th column

Clever, circuitous break-in logic, and then a touch of devilry in the middle. I laughed out loud!

Great puzzle - I really enjoyed the break-in - the possibility of repeats really changes the dynamic from regular numbered rooms puzzles.

A cool and satisfying solve once you start to unfold the logics one by one :}
