Chaos Circles (Updated)
(Published on 10. October 2023, 19:54 by SenatorGronk)
Rules
- Standard chaos construction sudoku rules apply: Each row, column and region contains the digits 1-9. Regions are comprised of 9 orthogonally connected cells and must be determined.
- Circled digits indicate exactly how many circles contain that digit.
- Digits in cages indicate the number of cells it can see orthogonally (including itself). Region borders block line of sight. Not all cages are necessarily given.

Solution code: Row 6 + Column 7

Fantastic use of circles in a way we haven't yet seen! This was a really fun and smooth solve - particularly enjoyed the shenanigans on row 6

Same as hoopsie! I don't know if it's because I sweat over the earlier version, but this version seemed much easier to find the next deduction. 3 stars in fact.

The update change made the solve very smooth. Got stuck yesterday and was able to figure it through today

Modified from original version to smooth out the second half of the solve.
