Doppler Effect
(Published on 1. February 2024, 00:14 by Knickolas)
Galaxies: The grid contains two rotationally symmetric and orthogonally connected galaxies centered on the middle cell. All cells must be part of a galaxy. The galaxies may only ever overlap at their centers. No 2x2 area may be fully part of 1 galaxy.
Red/Blue Shift: One of the galaxies is “redshifted” and cells on it have a value of one greater than their digit. The other galaxy is “blueshifted” and cells on it have a value of one less than their digit.
Arrows: Values along an arrow sum to the value in that arrow’s circle.
Killer Cages: Values in a cage sum to the given total. Digits may not repeat in a cage, but values may.
I hope you enjoy!
Solution code: Row 8

Brilliant setting and quite tricky. Never seen this idea with shifted galaxies, sometimes difficult to keep the counting correct. Thanks for sharing.

Super interesting.
I don’t often complete 4 stars so this was a challenge for me and every time I got stuck I was just asking the wrong questions for far too long (sometimes embarrassingly long). Each time I got the right question it was a simple straight forward question there was nothing difficult provided you could ask the right things and you kept track carefully of values.

really enjoyed this one! two criss-crossing galaxies! one of the weirder spiral galaxy sudokus I've done

Loved that one. Took a little bit to prove to myself how normal yin/yang colouring constraints would change. The steps where the cages forced the colouring were amazing. And then once the colouring was finished, a fun killer/arrow to do, just need to be very careful not to make an error on the arrows.
