T-Time (Anti-Knight Renban Killer Sudoku)
(Published on 13. June 2023, 21:12 by Phistomefel)
- In every row, column and outlined 3x3-box, each of the digits from 1 to 9 has to be drawn in exactly once.
- Cells which are a knight's move apart may not contain the same digit.
- The digits within a cage have to sum to the number in the top left corner.
- The cells on a purple Renban line contain a set of non-repeating consecutive digits, but not necessarily in order.
The puzzle is also available online via F-Puzzles and CTC-App. Have fun solving!
Solution code: Last row and last column

Well, that was probably the longest solve I ever did. Worth every minute!

Phew, that was harder than I expected !! Do other people process all this in their minds ??? I sure had to take some notes to evaluate the possible combinations of these T-shapes and understand what was going on here. An impressive construction ! Thanks :)

I give up... Goddammit, I cant figure it out. Keep ending up in blind alleys

Well, that was probably my longest solve ever. Obviously missed something because the cages didn't do much at all in my solve. Managed to find a way through with no chains longer than about 4 cells, but super tough.

Just when I think I have the "great" insight that will unlock the whole grid, it only unlocks a small portion of it. Pretty tough going but a fascinating thing.

Brilliant as usual. The T renbans are magical when combined with the cages. Enjoyed every minute of this one which was not too difficult once you found the break-in. Thank you for sharing yet another gem.

Very nice puzzle with some cool interactions! And the ending was noticeably smooth for an anti-knight puzzle.

This is a good exercise on branching logic and experimentation

Fantastic puzzle from start to finish! The antiknight works wonder in this one, and the power of those killer cages is absurdly strong x)

I'm usually not a big fan of anti-knight, but this was miraculous! Amazing puzzle.
