Quantum Irregularities
(Published on 29. June 2024, 19:13 by gdc)
This puzzle showcases what happens when you mix Schrödinger Sudoku with irregular regions and allow for regions of different sizes. Thanks to ViKingPrime and Dorlir for testing and feedback!
- Schrödinger Sudoku: Place one or two of the digits 0-7 in every empty cell. Each row, column and outlined region contains each digit exactly once.
- The value of a cell is the sum of the digit(s) it contains.
- Killer Cage: Values in a cage sum to the indicated total.
- Kropki: Values on a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Values on a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are given.
Hint (click to show): What happens if r6c6 contains a 1?
Solution code: Row 6 digits, left to right with the smaller digit first for the S-cell (8 digits)

This didn't feel anywhere near a 4 star difficulty. 3 at most, unless I jumped to a conclusion I shouldn't have (which I've been known to do!). I thought it flowed very nicely, excellent puzzle!

Another beauty. Great flow. Got stuck in the mid game but with a beautiful logic I found a smooth solve path to the end. Chaos with regions of different size - the idea alone. Masterpiece. Thx.

Gets a bit bifurcatory at the end, doesn't it. Even if there ARE some lovely elegant steps hidden away, you're inundated with a variety of long ugly chains of logic which would do the same job. Nice up until then, tho.

Schrödinger cells... is there anything they can't do?
