Regional 7s
(Published on 15. November 2022, 16:53 by wildhound007)
This is my 1st slot machine based sudoku. Had a lot of fun constructing it, although it took me a while to make sure it has a unique solution.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The marked diagonal must not have a repeated digit. Clues outside the grid sum the digits along that diagonal. In cages, digits sum to the total in top left corner.
Blue lines are regional sums lines, in which both sides add up to the same. (e.g. R6C7+R6C8+R6C9=R7C8+R8C7) Purple line is a set of non repeating, consecutive digits in any order.
Columns 2,5,8 all contain the same sequence of digits in the same order with different starting points. The sequence wraps from the bottom of the column back to the top.
Solution code: Column 2 followed by column 8. (18 digits)

Very nice and cool concept! The only disappointment for me was that I had the solution code before I had completed the solve.
