Christmas Tree Balance

(Published on 3. January 2025, 14:08 by Nurator)

This puzzle was made as a Secret Santa gift for the CtC Discord and published with the permission of my giftee alexc.

Rules:
  • Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  • Christmas Light Bulb Rules:
    • For each yellow bulb, the digits on the green arrows connected to it must sum to the bulb's number.
    • Multiple arrows connected to the same bulb sum independently.
    • Digits may repeat on arrows.
  • Balanced Branch Rules:
    • On brown branches, the sum of digits on the left side of the middle dot must equal the sum on the right side.
    • Each side includes:
      • Digits directly on the branch.
      • Digits in bulbs and their respective arrows attached to that side.
      • If an arrow leads to another balanced branch, the total sum of that branch counts toward its respective side.
  • The star and faded tree outline are purely decorative.
