Power-Sum Lines
(Published on 31. July 2024, 17:21 by wuc)
While solving a great Product-Sum Line puzzle by Oddlyeven, I wondered if the Sum-Lines also worked with powers. Maybe an idea only a math teacher can have ;-). Have fun and leave a comment.
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Power-Sum Lines: Digits along a line sum to a power built with both of the digits in the squares at the ends of the line. Digits may repeat on a line if permitted by the other rules. E.g. If the digits on the end were 2 and 5, the digits on the line between them must either add up to 5^2=25 or to 2^5=32.
The digits separated by the white dot are consecutive.
Solution code: Row 9 left to right.

Really enjoyed this one.
Not too hard, but it had a really nice flow, and didn’t just give up all the secrets immediately.

Great puzzle! Loved the rule and how you slowly understand the implications on each line you study.

Very nice puzzle! (As cybers mentioned, the SudokuPad link doesn't have the white dot yet.)

Really fun puzzle with cool and new deductions! (you may want to update the sudokupad link to actually include the white dot, I'm not seeing it)
