Count to Ten
(Published on 1. November 2024, 21:09 by Gerhard1963)
The idea for this constraint originated from Bearly’s first sudoku. I really liked it and decided to set a puzzle of my own with it.
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 6 appear in every row, column, and box.
- Counting Cages: Any digit N that appears in any green cage must appear in N green cages. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
- X Pairs: Digits in cells separated by an X sum to 10. Not all possible Xs are necessarily given.
- Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.

I got stuck for a few mintues treating the green cage on the right as a killer cage summing to ten(X). ;)

Not sure why such a low rating. Sure, it's not super tough, but it was constructed nicely. Thanks for sharing

Extremely easy (I thought) but I still got it wrong twice. Nice construction though!
