circle escape

(Published on 17. February 2025, 04:22 by RaygunUltra)

This grid is set on a torus, and only has 100 cells. This means that row 1 and row 11 are in fact the same row. The same is true of column 1 and column 11. Within the grid are 10- 3x3 boxes that must be found. This means that there are 10 cells in the grid that contain no digit. (Blank cells use a zero to solve uniquely)

The digits 1 to 9 need to be placed, once each, in every row, column, and 3x3 box

Cells along the large circles are clones of one another. i.e. r3c4 is the same as r9c10, and r4c4 is the same as r10c10.

Cells containing a medium circle are 'counting circles' cells. any digit appearing in a counting circle describes how many counting circles contain that digit within the puzzle.

Cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive.

Digits in a cage must sum to the number in the top left corner of that cage. Digits can not repeat inside a cage.

Once you figure out the torus shenanigans it's not too difficult and pretty fun.

The rules seem a bit unclear to me. The way they are written right now, I think counting circles and cells on large circles can be left blank, but cells separated by a white dot must contain a digit (not 0). Is this correct?Black dots and the small circles on the corners between cells are not mentioned. I think the rules should probably also say that the 3x3 boxes can't overlap.
