Numbered Product Renbans
(Published on 12. January 2025, 05:21 by RockyRoer)
The Rules:
- [Sudoku]:Normal sudoku rules apply - fill every row, column, and 3x3 box with the digits from 1 - 9 once each.
- [Numbered Products]: Clues outside the grid must be deduced, and are the product of x and y, where x is the first cell next to the clue, and y is the digit in the x'th cell in from the clue (that is, the numbered rooms clue for that position).
- Example: 314592687 would have a numbered product clue of 12 on the left-hand side (3x4) or 28 on the right-hand side (7x4).
- [Renban]: Pink lines are renban lines and must contain a set of consecutive integers in some order, with no repeats allowed. Ex: 13,15,14 could work or 6, 10, 9, 7, 8.
The Puzzle:
Try it on Sven's Sudoku pad or this link has cells around the edge for recording values. (Answer check will not work with numbers around the outside.)
Solution code: Row 6 from left to right
