Dented Box
(Published on 6. January 2025, 20:22 by fjam)
This puzzle comes in a neatly wrapped gift box. Enjoy!
This was the second of two puzzles I constructed for Flinty in the CTC Discord 2024 Secret Santa. For a second puzzle, I wanted to make something a little more challenging, combining arithmetic with a few geometric tricks in a nice thematic pattern.
The first Secret Santa puzzle can be found here: Scattered Packages

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Along each blue line, digits in each region must sum to the same total.
- Along a purple line, each pair of digits equidistant from the circled midpoint cell must sum to the digit in that midpoint cell.

Although the Box may have been Dented,
I successfully solved it, as intended.... albeit with helpers on Twitch - haha.
You were a great, no longer secret, Secret Santa.
Thank you. :)
