Century (Counting Circles + Numbered Rooms)

(Published on 29. May 2024, 08:00 by tallcat)

This puzzle is a major milestone for me, being my 100th published puzzle on LMD - something that I would never had predicted I'd get to when i first dabbled in setting. To mark the occasion, I chose to use 'counting circles' as a constraint - mainly as I had found puzzles with them somewhat hard to wrap my brain around. Overall, I was very happy with the end result and here's to the next 100! Happy solving!!

Normal sudoku rules apply

Numbered Rooms: Clues outside the grid indicate the digit to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the digit in the first cell in that direction.

Counting Circles: A digit N in a circle indicates exactly how many circles contain that digit.




Can be solved online at Sudokupad (with answer check) or Penpa
(without answer check)

Solution code: Row 8 (left to right) including outside clues. 10 digits, no spaces

A heck of a solve from start to finish! The initial idea was beautiful and somewhat wonderful, but the solve was very consistent throughout and I had to stay conscious to get what I needed at certain stages x)
