Basic Skysums
(Published on 4. January 2024, 01:13 by heliopolix )
I set this puzzle to explore Sums of Skyscraper clues. This puzzle should be quite approachable. I hope you enjoy it!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply, along with Skyscraper Sums.
- Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Skyscraper Sums: Treat each digit in the grid as a building of the digit's height. Clues outside the grid give the sum of the *visible* buildings in the indicated row or column. Along the row or column from a clue, taller buildings are *visible* behind shorter ones, but shorter buildings are *not visible* behind taller ones.
- For example, a row containing the digits 261379458 would have an outside clue to the left of 24 (2679 are visible, 13458 are not visible), and an outside clue to the right of 17 (89 are visible, 5473162 are not visible).
Streamers have permission to use this puzzle.
Solution code: Row 6

Skyscraper puzzles are particularly challenging for me, and this one was beautifully approachable and flowed nicely while still tickling my brain quite a bit. Lovely puzzle!

That is a fun variant - like a cross of thermos and arrows and of course skyscrapers. I'd give it a 2 star rating for the average player like me. 1 star for the experienced. And 100% for fun! Thanks!
