Searsian Edge Lines
(Published on 12. February 2025, 22:54 by l_ugray)
Rules:
With many thanks to Marty Sears for the edge lines idea:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
DYNAMIC FOG:
Some cells are covered with fog. Entering correct digits may clear fog somewhere in the grid. No guessing is necessary.Each spot along a coloured edgeline has a value, found by performing a calculation using the two digits it sits between:
SPOT RULES:
- Sum (+) spots: The value of a spot with a plus sign equals the sum of the two digits it sits between.
- Difference (-) spots: The value of a spot with a minus sign equals the larger digit minus the smaller digit.
- Ratio ( / ) spots: The value of a spot with a forward slash equals the larger digit divided by the smaller digit. (The value will always be an exact integer.)
LINE TYPES:
- Blue lines are 'region sum edgelines'. Box borders divide blue region sum lines into segments with the same sum. The sum must be determined for each blue line.
- Brown lines are 'constant edgelines'. Spot values along a brown line are all the same. This constant value must be determined for each brown line.
- Green lines are 'German edge-whispers'. The value of any two adjacent spots along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
- Grey lines are 'edge thermos'. Spot values along an edge thermo strictly increase as you move away from the end with the bulb (the large spot.)

Very cool. Wasn't familiar with edge lines but the fog showing me what to look at helped a great deal. I'll have to go check out Marty's now!
