Origami (Mad Fold-In)
(Published on 5. January 2025, 05:30 by Sotehr)
PUZZLE
RULES
Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply; place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Mad Mad Fold-In Fold-In: The dashed red lines are folded onto each other so that columns 1, 2, 8 and 9 form a 4x9 grid, rows 1, 2, 8, and 9 form a 9x4 grid, and the intersection of rows 1 and 2 with columns 1 and 2 form a 4x4 grid.
Between Lines: Digits along a gray line ending in circles must be strictly between the digits within the circles (e.g.: if the circled digits are 4 and 7, the only digits available on the line are 5 and 6.) The digits on the line can be in any order, and may repeat when allowed by the other rules.
Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the connected circle.

NOTES
Expected Difficulty: 3 stars
To help visualize the concept of the Fold-In, I've also created a version that has the regular 9x9 grid, as well as the folded 4x9, 9x4, and 4x4 grids. You can play that version here: Origami - All Grids
