Diwali Candle 2
(Published on 4. November 2022, 17:48 by Schwupel)
Small Disclaimer: I put this puzzle in as 2 star difficulty but it is probably somewhere inbetween 2 and 3. If you know "the secrets of Yin Yang" (as they are called on CTC) it should be doable.
Rules:
- standard sudoku rules: digits 1-9 in each row, column, box
- standard yin yang rules: shade some cells in the grid such that all shaded and all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected and no 2x2 area is fully shaded or unshaded
- candles illuminate the grid and have to be unshaded. Additionally, a digit on a candle is equal to the number of consecutive unshaded cells (including itself) the candle sees in its row and column

if you cant see candles
Solution code: Column 3 from top to bottom followed by row 3 from left to right.

Easy shading but stuck a bit by the sudoku part. Yin Yang sudokus are my absolute favourite, thanks a lot for this one! :)

The ying-yang/candle part of the puzzle is nice with lots of neat steps, and the sudoku part after it is exceptionally smooth. Thanks for a great puzzle! :)
