Schrödinger 301: The Casimir Effect

(Published on 9. October 2023, 21:30 by ViKingPrime)


PUZZLE:




RULES:

"Normal" Schrödinger rules apply.
(i.e. place the digits 0 through 9 once each in every row, column and box;
two of the digits will have to share a Schrödinger Cell;
each row, column and box contains exactly one Schrödinger Cell
).

Circle: Digits within a circle indicate exactly how many circles contain that digit.
Killer: Digits within a cage must sum to the number in the top-left corner (if given).

Note: The "arrows" point towards the lesser digit or digits of the two adjacent cells.


MODIFIER:

Schrödinger Certainty (Restrictive): If a Schrödinger cell falls within a Circle cell, it marks an appearance for each digit (i.e. Circles track the number of digit appearances and not value appearances).


INTRODUCTION:

This is an updated version based on some additional feedback, which should allow for a clearer solve path while still maintaining much of the challenge.

Here are some puzzles from other setters using a similar constraint:
"The Graveyard of Schrödinger" by fjam
"The Kingdom of Osiris" by gdc
