Remove and Repeat
(Published on 18. September 2024, 12:00 by marty_sears)
Rules:
- The grid contains the digits 1-6. In each row and column, one digit has been removed, and one digit is repeated. Eg: 352156 - 4 has been removed, and 5 is repeated.
- Each digit 1-6 is repeated in exactly one row and one column, and removed in exactly one row and one column. The red and blue side arrows can be used to keep track.
- Digits joined by an X sum to 10.
- Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.
- Digits joined by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
- Digits in a cage sum to the clue in the corner.
- Digits on a pink renban form a non-repeating consecutive sequence which can be in any order.
- Digits an equal distance from the central spot on a lavender zipper line sum to the digit on the central spot.

This puzzle was great! I'd like to also mention how user-friendly the interface is for all your puzzles, Marty. Thank you for putting so much thought into them :)

Interesting how when you remove sudoku rules, it means you have to think more. But only being a 6x6 and having lots of clues, that thinking isn't too hard.

I found the end a bit harder than the rest so would give it 3 stars difficulty due to that. Might be that i missed a trick and thus needed to keep more in my head for the final deduction.
I also did not asume that adding and removing the same digit was not allowed. Maybe this made the puzzle a little harder than it would have been if i read the rules correct as repeat and not as add.
Quite nice puzzle, non the less, would recommend.

Nice puzzle, fresh ideas, was quite fun. Though I turned my brains inside out during solving...

Lovely puzzle, one question about the rules. Are you allowed to repeat and remove the same digit in a row/column or is it up to the solver to find out? Edit: I thought maybe it would cancel eachother out, probably silly thinking lol
Marty: I'm not sure how that would work? How can a digit be removed but also repeated?

A pleasure to play. I am awful at tracking somedoku-like digit restrictions in my head so having the extra space was very helpful!

A bit tricky near the end, but approachable anyway
