Split Branches
(Published on 9. December 2023, 03:18 by Scojo)
These puzzles were originally set in November 2023 for the Cracking the Cryptic Discord's monthly prompt of "Ally McPhee's Ever-Branching Tree" (Extended from September and October). These puzzles include several elements from my previous puzzles for this prompt: Blue Spruce and B.L.Tree.
Rules:- These puzzles are a pairdoku! With another solver, you should each choose either the Arrow puzzle or the Thermo puzzle. Both puzzles share an identical solution. Do not show the other solver your puzzle, and use of the pen tool is discouraged. These puzzles are meant to be solved using verbal communication only. Images of the puzzles are blurred to prevent spoilers for the other puzzle.
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Arrows: Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow's circle.
- Thermos: Digits along a thermometer must increase from bulb to tip.
