5 Is The Magic Number
(Published on 9. January 2024, 23:39 by Ratfinkz)
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Consecutive digits on a green line must differ by at least 5.
- Numbers outside the grid are remote X sums. They indicate the sum of the first X digits after the 5 in their row or column where X is the digit immediately after the 5. X sums remain within the grid.
Feel free to leave me a comment, I read and appreciate all of them!
Solution code: 4th row, left to right

Beautiful, elegant setting! (I must emphasize, though, that in this puzzle - 7 IS 3).

this was a lovely twist on x sums, very smooth logic but I definitely was kept on my toes. A few times I thought I'd broken it but then spotted another option I hadn't considered, which always turned out to be the correct option, in quite a satisfying way. Perfect choice of clues, which interacted very well with the German whisperage

Seamless logic flow throughout, and a nice introduction to remote X sums puzzles for me. Class!
