Hungry Hungry Hippos
(Published on 6. February 2025, 02:51 by Scojo)
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- The four hungry hungry hippos on the edges of the grid are fighting to eat all of the large circles in the grid. If a circle is entirely within the colored territory of a single hippo, that circle will be eaten by that hippo. If a circle is on the border between multiple hippos' territories, which hippo eats that circle must be determined. A number on a hippo shows the sum of all circles that it eats. A digit on a circle indicates how many circles contain that digit.
- Digits separated by a small white dot are consecutive. These dots are too small for the hippos to care about, so they are not eaten. Not all possible dots are shown.
