Roommate Somedoku
(Published on 18. August 2024, 16:33 by gdc)
This puzzle combines the rules from flinty and blackjackfitz. Thanks goodcity for the inspiration via LMD#HAA. Thanks to the testers on the CTC-fan discord. Hope you enjoy!
- Somedoku: Fill each cell with a digit from 1-9. Fill each row 'n' and column 'n' with exactly 'n' different digits, repeating digits as necessary.
- Diagonal: Digits on the diagonal may not repeat.
- Dutch Flatmates: Every 5 in the grid must have a 1 directly above it or a 9 directly below it. It may have both, but it doesn't need both.
- Numbered Rooms: Clues outside the grid indicate the digit which must be placed in the Nth cell in that row or column, where N is the digit placed in the first cell in that direction from the clue.
- Odd/Even: Digits in circles are odd. Digits in squares are even.
Solution code: The digits on the diagonal starting at the top-left (9 digits).

Excellent puzzle and not as difficult as it might first appear. The rules are an unusual combination but they're integrated together very nicely. Great fun!

Very nice. An approachable somedoku. Usually they are very hard. This however was very rewarding for me and a lot of fun thx.

Great puzzle with a really nice flow. Loved the interplay between the diagonal and somedoku and I always enjoy some dutch flat mates logic!
Really glad to be linked somehow to this lovely creation :).

Note: I considered releasing this as a "guest spot" for the "dutch flatmates series" but decided the rules are a bit too wild for that. However, I do have another puzzle for the series lined up which is more puristic.
