It's a Numbers Game

(Published on 20. March 2024, 05:00 by Will Power)

Normal Sudoku rules apply. ARROWS- Numbers on arrows sum to the number in the arrow's circle. Numbers may repeat on arrows, if other rules allow. There are three shapes formed by the arrows, representing the numbers 1, 7 and 8. Circles in the same shape as one another have the same number. KROPKI PAIRS- Numbers with a white dot between them are consecutive. Numbers with a black dot between them are in a ratio of 2:1. Not all possible dots are given.

Just for clarification, when it comes to the [8] shapes, are arrows on each half of the shape separate (as in, the upper arrow and the lower arrow having to each sum up to the number in the center while having one common digit nearest to the circle)?

@Jreg On the "8" shapes- All four arrows are 3 cells long. As an example: The one that starts LEFT and then turns clockwise shares its first digit with the one that goes LEFT and then counter-clockwise. It also shares its third digit with the arrow that starts RIGHT and then counter-clockwise. So all arrows share their first and third digits with two other arrows. All four arrows will each sum to the number in the circle. Peace to you. -Will Power

Really enjoyable. Felt close to 1* to me compared to the other 2*’s of yours that I’ve tried out. Maybe I’m just getting a little better at them though.

@jklimp My initial suggested rating is always replaced by the average of the input from all people who completed the solve. I only attempt to ensure guessing is not required and usually do not require advanced geometry tricks to solve mine. Other than that, I don't see much difference between ones that solvers label 1-star and 2-stars. Maybe solvers take into account just a bit more mathematics required or just by the time the puzzle required to solve. Peace to you. -Will Power
