Pleiades (S-Cell Mean Mini Sudoku)
(Published on 6. January 2023, 18:29 by Ambrose)
- S-Cell Mean Mini: Take a set of 7 digits from 1 through 9, and place them in the grid so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column, and outlined 2x3 box. Each row, column, and box will contain exactly one S-cell which holds two digits simultaneously.
- XV: An X between two cells means the sum of all digits in the two cells equals 10. A V between two cells means the sum of all digits in the two cells equals 5. Not all Xs or Vs are necessarily given.
- Arrow: An arrow in the grid means the sum of all digits along the arrow equals the total value of digit(s) in the attached circle. Digits may repeat along an arrow if allowed by other rules.
Solution code: Enter the values of the cells in row 4 then row 6, left to right, no spaces. The value of an S-cell is the sum of the digits in it.

First S-cell solve for me. What a wonderful one! Took a while to figure out the correct approach, then flowed really nicely.

Really smooth and nice logic! Very tricky at the beginning but very intuitive to wrap your head around the main concepts by the end. Love that in a puzzle

Extremely challenging. It resolves beautifully once one realizes what needs to be realized XD

This was a great puzzle, but I found it extremely challenging. It’s VERY possible that this is because my brain just doesn’t seem wired to understand s-cell puzzles, though. Still, some wonderful logic to be found, thank you for sharing!
