X-Entropy
(Published on 15. March 2024, 17:06 by AParliamentofOwls)
Normal Sudoku Rules apply. Every row, column and marked region in the puzzle must contain the digits 1-9 exactly once.
Additional Rules:
Global Entropy: Group the digits 1-9 into low(123), middle(456), and high(789) digits. Every 2x2 cell group in the puzzle must contain at least one digit of each group.
X-Sums: Digits on the outside of a row or column indicate the sum of the first n digits, n being the first digit in that row or column
XV: Digits joined with a V sum to 5.
Solution code: row 5

This was tricky for me, but never felt out of reach. Some of the key deductions brought so much joy! Loved it, great puzzle!

Thank you for this nice global entropy puzzle, AParliamentofOwls! I was stuck at a few times (usually missing a little 2x2 here and there), but I immensely enjoyed the interaction of entropy with the X-sums. Thank you for setting and sharing!
