Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

Don't Step on the Bug

(Published on 9. October 2024, 20:00 by Gnubeutel)

In this puzzle you need to swallow your pride after a logical break-in, pencil mark everything and whittle away. Or you find a short-cut. It's up to you.

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

Kropki Dots: cells separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio, cells separated by a white dot are consecutive.
ALL possible dots are given. Yes, "all". That's none.

Renban: digits on a magenta line do not repeat and are consecutive in any order.

Play online with sudokupad.

Solution code: Digits in the last row from left to right.

Oh, I LOVE negative constraints like this! It was a lot of fun from start to finish.

@Onkel_Dagobert you are right. I didn't catch that before. But i'm not going to remove it, because of its aesthetical use. Have a free, extra clue, you're welcome.

Nice puzzle and fun to solve. However, I did not need the renban in box 3 for my solution.

I don't know if the "eliminate all candidates approach" was mentioned as a joke, but I kind of rolled with it. Thank you for this fun puzzle, Gnubeutel!

I solved this earlier and could not get the solution code to work! Glad it was fixed. Fun puzzle!

You got to laugh. Didn't the title warn us about a bug? Thanks to Jalebc for stepping on it.
