Teleporting X-Sums
(Published on 10. February 2023, 19:02 by SenatorGronk)
- Standard sudoku rules apply
- Each row, column, and box has one teleporter cell, each of which contains a different digit.
- Clues on the outside of the grid are X-Sums -- where X is the digit closest to the clue, and the clue is the sum of the first X digits in the row/column in that direction.
- If an X-sum clue hits a teleporter cell, after including its digit in the sum, you are teleported to the next highest teleporter cell (with the 9 pointing to the 1), and must continue your sum from there in the same direction (the destination teleporter cell is not counted in the X-sum).
- No given clues will teleport you in a way where you hit the end of the grid before reaching your expected cell count.

That was a well-crafted puzzle with lots of cool logic. Took me two hours but it was worth it!

Great stuff, but only 3 difficulty for me.
"No clue will teleport you ..." should be "No *given* clue ...", because there are such things as non-given clues (at least in some other puzzles).

What a beautiful puzzle!
Challenging, with intricate logical steps. A joy to solve - thanks :-)
