This is my response to
Scojo's setting prompt this week, as redeemed by
Juggler, which was to create an innovative ruleset.
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
A digit, N, in a circle indicates that all digits in cells (B,N) away from the circle sum to N, where B is the number of the box in which the circle is located. For example, a 4 in the circle at r1c5 would make B=2 and N=4, meaning that both digits (2,4) away from the circle (r5c3 and r3c1) must sum to 4.
Boxes are labelled as follows:
1 2
3 4
5 6
Solution code: Row 6 (bottom) left to right

Great puzzle. At first i was confused if "no cells" were a valid option, but that's probably just me.

Wow, I'm honored! Neat puzzle as well.

Really fun puzzle! At first I thought the rules were a bit ambiguous, but then I realized that that ambiguity is what helps solve it! Very clever

Typo in the example - thank you marcmees for pointing this out!
