Reach for the Sky
(Published on 5. September 2024, 14:06 by Gerhard1963)
This is a spiritual successor to my first puzzle "Lightning Strikes over the City". It has similar constraints, but is supposed to be a little bit easier and beginner friendly.
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 9 appear in every row, column, and box.
- Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the value shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
- Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
- Arrows: Digits along an arrow must sum to the number indicated in the circle or pill from which the arrow emerges. Multi-digit pills are read top-to-bottom or left-to-right. If multiple arrows are emerging from the same circle or pill, all arrows must individually sum to the number in the circle or pill.

I changed the description to try to make the double arrow pill a bit clearer.

Regel von Arrows besser formuliert.

I found the leftmost pillbox very confusing, until I read the comments here I didn't realize that both arrows separately added up to that value but thought they were summed together. Otherwise very smooth puzzle!

Hmm ich frage mich welchen Trick ich nicht sehe, habe auch schon 3 mal die Regeln durchgelesen ob ich etwas übersehe, aber aus welchen Gründen auch immer finde ich es überhaupt nicht anfängerfreundlich und finde den Break In nicht.
Edit: Nevermind, for some reason I misinterpreted the pill at the bottom left, I thought it sums to both arrows together, and not it showing the sum of each arrow. Then it really was quite easy and smooth.
