Sloop John B (SudoCruise Day 5)
(Published on 30. March 2023, 07:10 by SSG)
SudoCruise is a short puzzle pack I constructed for the 2023 JoCo Cruise.
Sloop John B Drinking all night and getting into a fight are not recommended techniques for solving this puzzle.
Place the digits 1-9 so that each appears once in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
Arrows: Digits along an arrow must sum to the digits in the connected circle. Arrows connected to the same circle sum separately. Digits may repeat on an arrow if allowed by other rules.

Great puzzle!! I love its economy of constraints. They are very nice to look at. Thanks for sharing.

If you find the point where to begin it’s cruise mode indeed but it took me a little to get there. However, I have to admit you “advertised” it pretty well, I just did not look hard enough.

I liked the way the arrows interacted in the bottom of the grid.

As a beginner of sorts, I found this to be pretty hard to get started on. I could see where to start, but it took me quite some time to nail down some actual digits. In the end I had to restart after an hour, reassess all my previous assumptions, and then another hour later I finally finished it.
Very nice puzzle. It was really satisfying to finally solve it.
