Divide, not conquer
(Published on 7. September 2022, 21:31 by chameleon)
Two circles and a line between them form a fraction: the value of the fraction is the top-left circle divided by the bottom-right circle (e.g. 1/2 = 0.5). Integer fraction values (e.g. 1/1, 3/1, 2/2) are allowed.
Fraction values may not repeat in rows, columns and regions (but it's ok to repeat the digits in the circles).
Values in a cage may not repeat and sum to the clue in the corner of the cage. The meaning of value depends on the cage shape: if both circles of a fraction are included in a cage, then value means the fraction's value, otherwise value means the digit in the circle itself (e.g. in the cage in the top-left corner of the grid, the fraction value of grey circles + the white circle itself = 4).

I struggled a lot to get my head around the rules, but it was very enjoyable once I understood what is going on. Brilliant puzzle!

This was so extremely good. And clever!
Took me about 40 minutes to just wrap my head around the implications of the ruleset and figure out the break-in, but once I did, all the logic just flowed really smoothly around every corner.
Well done!
