Chaotic Equality
(Published on 8. December 2022, 21:07 by Knickolas)
Rules:
- Chaos Construction: Divide the grid into regions, each consisting of nine orthogonally connected cells. Each row, column and region must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
- Equal Sum Lines: Each line must pass through at least two regions. For each line, digits have an equal sum within each region the line passes through. If a line passes through the same region more than once, each individual segment adds to the sum for that line.
- Circles: Digits in a circle indicate the number of cells that are part of a line in that cell's region.

Working my way through the puzzles in CTC book 2 which I haven't solved yet. Deserves all the plaudits. Ridiculously good.

Lovely puzzle! It flowed nicely once I figured out what the central idea of the puzzle was, and it managed to get an impressive amount of work out of that idea.

A slow puzzle for sure, but a stunning break-in, and nicely flowing yet intricate logic thereafter.
