Halve We Met Before? (Region Sum Line/Clone/Halvers)

(Published on 15. January 2025, 18:27 by damo_89)

This is my submission for the most recent puzzle prompt by Scojo which called for using Region Sum Lines, Clones and Halver cells. This was a surprisingly fun set of constraints to work with. Good luck!

  • Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box
  • Halvers: 9 cells in the grid are halver cells, one each in every row, column and 3x3 box, containing the digits 1 to 9 once each. The value of a halver cell is half the digit in that cell.
  • Region Sum Line: Box borders divide blue lines into segments with the same sum (for the avoidance of doubt, this is values, so taking into account halved cells). (Halvers do not necessarily need to be on Region Sum Lines)
  • Clones: Boxes 1, 5 and 9 are clones, where each digit is in the same position. (For the avoidance of doubt, this refers to digits, not values)

Solution code: Row 5, omitting the halved cell (8 digits)
