VX RCB

(Published on 20. February 2023, 18:49 by bigger)

The idea comes from RockyRoer’s puzzle. if you like this puzzle you might want to check sujoyku’s RCB. you might also found Wecoc's puzzle and Klomp's puzzle helpful.

The Rules:

  1. [RCB1-6] Fill every row, column and box with the letters R, C, B and the numbers 1-6 once each.
  2. [VX]Digits beside V sum to 5. Digits beside X sum to ten. All possible vx are given, and letters R, C, and B take on the value of the Row, Column, or Box they are in.
    • R's always take the value of the row they are in.
    • C's always take the value of the column they are in.
    • B's always take the value of the box they are in.
    Numbers/letters may have a same value... if for example a 2 and a R from Row 2 side by side without symbols in between, 2+2 is not 5 or 10.

The Puzzle:

I’m going to keep most of the spoiler part in comment. The thing is, when i talk to Old Miles today about this idea, i forget to mention the RBC part. This idea can go into places nobody want it to, which have a lot of word play. It seems there is a mental barrier inside the rule. Well, the bucket list just keep getting longer and longer.

As for VX, well, it should be the easiest calculation related variant, especially considering both killer before me use small cages. I could use consecutive, but that would be too many white dots. And i’m always going for the safe route to avoid unnecessary play test trouble.

Solution code: Row 8 and column 5(12 digits and 6 capital letters)

hmm, i solved that one (at least i think so). But my solution code doesn't work. I checked, doublechecked and triplechecked. Cannot find my mistake.
Is there a way anyone could help me (i don't want to spoil, so i don't know how to do it) perhaps with hidden comment?

Good puzzle! Just watch out for the negative constraint! :)

bigger:to be honest, i really want to punish anyone who assume the rule without reading it. if one wants to solve a puzzle with partial rules or clues, be my guest, just don't expect me to pay the price of his carelessness.

Very easy and nice RCB sudoku! The last point is excellent!
