Unforeseen Consequences
(Published on 25. October 2024, 21:00 by XeonRisq)
- Divide the grid into nine regions and place a digit from 1-9 in each cell such that digits do not repeat in any row, column, or region.
- Positional Cave Clues : In each region, only one cell can occupy a location to see the most cells in its region (cells see in the four orthogonal directions, including itself, where region borders obstruct view); likewise for the least cells in its region.
- It is to be determined by the solver whether squares represent the maximum or minimum position; circles will represent the other. (these cells can be any digit; they are not required to represent how many cells are seen)
- Numbers outside the grid represent a sum of digits between two sequential region borders in its associated row or column. (The edge of the grid is considered a region border)
