Cagy Zeros Return (0-9 Challenge)
(Published on 1. July 2024, 09:06 by The Bard)
Extended Sudoku rules apply, place the digits 0-9 in each row, column, and box, however there will be one digit in each that does not fit. This digit can vary between rows, columns, and boxes and needs to be determined by the solver.
Killer cages: Digits in cages add up to the total in the corner.
Phistomefel Ring: Digits form a proper Phistomefel Ring.
Phistomefel Ring Explanation: The Digits in the purple are the same as the digits in the blue, in some order.
Solution code: Row 1

That was a nice, smooth solve. I really liked getting to use the Phistomofel ring, especially in a puzzle type where you can't take it for granted!

I am glad you enjoyed it. I had to call out the P-ring because a 0-9 challenge does not allow for set theory to work unless designed to do so which makes it a good training for the P-ring.

Glad to hear it. I try to leave as many positive comments as possible because I really enjoy solving a lot of puzzles. Without all you creators, I would be rather bored at times! Thanks for your service to this community!

That was lovely, but i think 2 stars. If you didnt give us the phistomofel rule then 3 stars.

I am glad you liked it. It is always hard to gauge the difficulty level on a puzzle like this.

I appreciate you mentioning Phistomofel Ring in the rules, while I know what it is and how it works I probably wouldn't of thought of using it to solve had you not

The P-Ring doesn't work on 0-9 puzzles unless it is set up to do so. Thus calling it out was necessary to let solvers know it still works.
