Dual Citizen Series #3 - Storm Systems
(Published on 26. April 2023, 23:06 by Mikemerin)
Part of the Dual Citizen Series
As a meteorologist I wanted to make a weather-themed puzzle, and hurricanes/cyclones were the result! Please note that the conflict checker will not work properly as I cannot currently define multiple regions in a single cell.
---
Each row, column, and region must contain the values 1-9.
Diagonal lines make up three entropic storm systems (9 digits/diagonals each, 27 total) and follow three rules:
1) Dual Citizen: if a number is on a diagonal it is part of each region.
2) Entropic lines: sets of three sequential cells must contain one low (123) medium (456) and high (789) digit.
3) Balance: the three digits in the same relative position of each storm system add up to 15. For example in row 2, C1 C4 C7 can be 159.

Thanks. With the confirmation of the rules I found the path straight-forward. You just have to know what to look for!

Glad to hear! -MM

Are the entropic lines of rule 2 only the diagonal lines?
Is the balance rule 3 only for digits along the diagonal lines, or must cells like R1C1 + R1C4 + R1C7 = 15?

Yup those rules specifically only apply to the diagonal lines and the digits on them. -MM
