Doubler Chaos (Chaos Construction)
(Published on 19. November 2024, 23:39 by Mad-Tyas)
Chaos Construction: The grid has to be devided into nine regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each row, column and region has to contain the digits 1-9 once each.
Doubler: There are nine Doubler cells in the grid, exactly one in each row, column and region. The Doublers cells have to contain a complete set of the digits 1-9. Additionally, each Doubler cell has to be in the same region as the cell RxCx with x being the digit in the Doubler cell.
Killer: In cages marked with a black dashed line digits must not repeat and values have to add up to the total given in the top-left corner of a cage. The value of Doubler cells is twice the digit in that cell.
Have fun solving!

Great ! Bottom left resolution was indeed much harder than the rest of the puzzle, but the deduction to unlock was nice and subtle. Thanks :)

Took me the better part of the day, I normally don't touch 5 star puzzles. But something about this one hooked me from the moment I placed my first correct doubler and went "That can't be right...." Astonishing logic from start to end.

Thank you very much for all the kind comments! I'm very happy that you all had a satisfying experience with my first dive into creating Chaos Construction :)

A delightful puzzle! I'd rate it more of a 3 in terms of difficulty, possibly edging to a 4 due to the tricky lower-left section. The strong restrictions provided clear guidance throughout the solve.

Phew! That was a brilliant puzzle! I struggled a lot with the bottom left section for ages until I finally asked the right question, but once I did it all clicked into place. I’m sure we’ll see this one on CTC before long.

Wow what a journey. Seems like there's some seriously advanced sudoku logic needed because at a couple points where I had to resort to bifurcating but overall some very compelling logic.

Incredible puzzle. First 5-star I ever attempted and it couldn't be better. Thanks for the puzzle!

It feels odd to think that a puzzle can be *underrated* at 95%, but I think that's the case here. Absolutely loved it.

The logic that flows from the restriction on the positive diagonal...just...incredible!
