Rank Up 11 - Circles
(Published on 28. July 2024, 23:35 by ThePedallingPianist)
Sudoku: Within the main grid (inside the thick border), fill every cell with a digit from 1-5 such that digits do not repeat in a row or column.
Circles: A value in a circle shows how many times that value appears in a circle.
Full Rank: A value in an external cell represents the rank of the number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest such row or column and (20) is the highest.
N.B. If two ranks are tied, the value in both external cells is the lower of the two ranks being shared. For example, if the lowest four ranks are "12453", "13524", "13524" and "15432", the values in the relevant external cells would be (1), (2), (2) and (4) respectively.
Solution code: Column 3 (middle) of the internal grid, top to bottom

My sincerest apologies to anyone who has attempted this puzzle based on the rules as printed on this LMD page - I forgot to update them after copying them from the previous puzzle! The rules have now been updated on this page, and have always been correct on the SudokuPad link.

This is a very neat puzzle. Walid_tun, are you trying to do chaos construction? If so, it's not part of the ruleset.

I definitely don't get it. There is a wide range of options.

TPP: As dmm90 points out, the rules were copied out completely wrongly on the LMD page, my apologies! They're now correct, and have always been correct in the SudokuPad link. No Chaos Construction required :)
