P = NP
(Published on 4. March 2024, 23:08 by damasosos92)
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Every cage in the grid is either a P pentomino or a N pentomino. Every pentomino is completely filled by either a renban line or a thermometer, hidden behind the pentomino. Cells along a renban line contain a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order. Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase as they move away from the bulb. The position of the bulb has to be deduced by the solver. Thermometers only make vertical or horizontal turns inside the pentominous and don't branch.
All the cages of the same shape hide the same constraint: the solver has to deduce which constraint is hidden behind each shape.
P = NP is also available online on CTC-App.

If one cage can be obtained from another by mirroring and/or rotating, does it count as the same shape?
- yes, absolutely

Edited the rules to better clarify that the pentominous entirely hide renbans and thermos.

"Every pentomino hides either a renban line or a thermometer."
A 5-cell long renaban/thermo?
reply: yes, I'll edit the rules a little bit, but yes, the renban/thermo touches every cell of the pentomino.
