Rational Killers

(Published on 10. July 2024, 16:58 by Elytron)

Hey, this is my second Sudoku and I tried to make it a bit harder than my first. But because I'm still not very experienced, I might have under- or overestimated the difficulty. I was happy reading the nice comments under my first puzzle and I hope to read some more responses here. So have fun solving!

Solve with SudokuPad.

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.
The sums of the two cages are in a 1:2 ratio. Digits in cages may repeat if allowed by other rules.
Digits along the arrow line sum to the 2-digit number in the attached circle.
Cells separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive.
Not necessarily all dots are given.

Solution code: The 3. row, from left to right (6 digits).

Nice puzzle! Flows very cleanly if you think about it the right way.

Das hat viel Spaß gemacht! Einmal verrechnet, ein Grundsatzfehler :-( am Anfang, aber dann lief es wie Schmidt's Katze... :-)
Dankeschön für dieses clevere Puzzle, Elytron.

Beautiful idea with the arrow reaching once around the grid. Took me quite long to check how to calculate in the correct way.

Thanks! I'm really wondering how people do the break in. I had this really elegant mathematical reasoning in mind, but I'm sure there are other ways of doing it. -Elytron
