Thermal Arrows and Entropic Cages
(Published on 30. May 2024, 07:23 by MSDOS)
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits separated by a 'V' must sum to 5.
- Digits separated by an 'X' must sum to 10.
- Thermal Arrows: Digits along an arrow line sum to the digit in the circle. Additionally, digits strictly increase from the arrow end to the circle.
- Entropy Lines (orange): Each set of 3 adjacent digits on an orange entropy line must contain a low digit (1,2,3), a middle digit (4,5,6), and a high digit (7,8,9).
- Entropic Cages: No two digits in a cage can be of the same entropy. Each cage contains a set of digits that sum to the same value, determined by the solver.
Solution code: Row 6 from left to right (9 digits).
