Cryptic Connections (Phistomefel Sum Lines)

(Published on 7. November 2022, 16:56 by AnalyticalNinja )

I wanted to build a puzzle around a really cool interaction I noticed while solving Phistomefel's Sum Lines #1. Here's the resulting sudoku, please enjoy!

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. (place the digits 1-9 once each into every row, column, and 3x3 box.)
For every triple of adjacent digits on a line, one of the digits has to be the sum of the other two, e.g. 2-5-7, 6-9-3, and 8-4-4 are valid adjacent digits along a line. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by the other rules.



Playable with F-Puzzles or CTC (SudokuPad).

Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 3 of the solution.

I'd like to mention that Bremster had a wonderful solve of this puzzle on his channel. He even did it without the Phistomefel ring deduction I mentioned earlier.

Enjoyed it, thanks! Very approachable (assuming you have some experience with the ruleset)

- Thanks! I definitely aimed for approachable, but like you noted, it's much more so when already familiar with the constraint. Lol

Note:
There is a moment where using the Phistomefel ring can expediate the solve, but it's not actually required to solve the puzzle.

Notiz:
Es gibt einen Moment, in dem die Verwendung des Phistomefel-Rings die Lösung beschleunigen kann, aber es ist nicht wirklich erforderlich, um das Rätsel zu lösen.
