No RePEAts!
(Published on 30. August 2024, 20:34 by sujoyku)
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- Disjoint set: The circles contain a complete set of the digits from 1 to 9. In other words, no two circles may contain identical digits.
- Split pea lines: The sum of the digits on a line strictly between two circles is equal to a concatenation of the two values in the circles, in some order. For instance, 3_346_1 could be a valid split pea line, as 3+4+6=13, which is 1 concatenated with 3.
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Column 7 from top to bottom (9 digits in total)

A wonderful example of a break-in that is relatively easy, but still very nice to find. Thanks!

This was the first time I had seen this rule set. It took me a while to work out what looked like an impossible grid, but logic prevailed ;-)
Very nice puzzle!

Thank you for your comment, Ryx! When I encountered the split peas constraint, I also needed to get my head around it first. But it quickly became my recent favourite to set with. I am glad that it worked out for you and that you liked the puzzle.

Excellent setting of a super fun puzzle! I am sure that I haven't solved a lot of split pea lines puzzles, but I think this is a great introduction for anyone to this ruleset and that is a huge compliment. Thank you

Thank you for your kind words, SamuPiano! I feel I have learned so much from you about the split peas. So it means a lot to me that you enjoyed the puzzle. I hope I can contribute more to this variant in the future. Thanks again for testing, the collaboration and all our nice discussions!
