Batten-Burger

(Published on 1. March 2024, 17:18 by sujoyku)

I have to admit that momentarily I am in a sort of "Battenburg fever" and therefore try to combine the ruleset with different variants. Here is my Battenburg/Sandwich hybrid. I like to thank CaptZebraCakes for testing the puzzle. The difficulty should be somewhere around 2.5/5. Please feel free to share your opinion in the comments and to tell me how you liked the taste of this puzzle burger. I wish you joyful solving!

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.

- Sandwich: Clues outside the grid are Sandwich clues and indicate the sum of all digits between 1 and 9 in the resp. row or column.

- Minimum: A digit in a minimum cell is strictly smaller than a digit in any orthogonally adjacent cell.

- Battenburg: Whenever 2 odd and 2 even digits form a 2x2 checkerboard pattern (e.g. R1C1 and R2C2 even, R1C2 and R2C1 odd), a Battenburg marking is given. If there is no such marking, the above pattern is not allowed.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solve on CtC

Solution code: Row 4 from left to right (9 digits in total)

This burger tastes good, thank you sujoyku! It had some nice challenges to bite on all the layers, from beginning to end. Not easy, clearly 3 stars in my opinion.

Great puzzle with a very nice Sudoku sting in the end. Thank you

Thank you for your comment, Snookerfan! If you are referring to the "sting" that I am thinking of I have to say that this is one of my favourite parts of the puzzle. So I am very glad that you liked it.
