Country Arrows, Point Me Home
(Published on 17. January 2024, 20:18 by 99%Sneaky)
- Any two cells which are in the same relative position with their respective 3x3 boxes must contain different digits.
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages sum to the number in the top-left corner of the cage.
- Digits along an arrow must sum to the number in the attached circle.
- Digits on lines connecting white circles must lie between the circled digits numerically.
- Digits on a grey square are even. Digits on a grey circle are odd.
Solution code: Row 1

I was really happy to spot what I feel like is the break in, pretty much right away. Then it was deduction after deduction until I hit a wall. Them read the rules again and, oh, yeah, disjoint ;-)
Thanks for setting!

Very nice puzzle! Good use of the disjoint there at the end. Well done!

Thanks I really appreciate your kind words, especially as I know you have set some wonderful disjoint puzzles yourself :)

At first I thought "this couldn't possibly solve" ...
then I started getting hints of:
this means that, and this can't be here...
and it solved itself...
weird

If this puzzle was a novel this is the comment I would put on the front cover :D

Very fun puzzle, easy up front and not too difficult at the end. Enjoyed some coloring to find the last bit. Had row 1 finished pretty early though.

Very nice. A little trickier when SudokuPad doesn't red out the options impacted by the disjoint rule :) i think 2* seems a fair difficulty

Had some fun interactions with the disjoint rule towards the end there. Nice puzzle.

Thanks sdholmes I appreciate it, shout out to disjoint fun times :)

I didn't read the disjoint group rule and was surprised that I wasn't able to solve this :')

Nice job winning on hard mode :')

Very enjoyable interactions to deduce here, even more so when you remember the disjoint rule :]

Thanks (again :] )!

Bolding disjoint rule for emphasis.
