Summary Report (with ChinStrap)
(Published on 22. February 2025, 15:03 by sujoyku)
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- Index Lines: Each hollow turquoise line is an Index Line, i.e. the digit in the Nth cell along such a line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. For example, if a diamond cell contains a 3, the third cell along that line must have a 1.
- Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide blue lines into segments with equal sums. (Different lines may have different segment totals.)
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Row 5 from left to right (9 digits in total)

wooo! I got there in the end. I've been beavering away at this since before it was published. I did not find it easy at all and had to do extensive pencil marking to spot the required deductions. I think I probably missed some easier ways to think about things, but in any case it was always satisfying when I made another breakthrough. Couldn't give this anything less than 4 stars for difficulty. Chinstrap and Sujoyku make such a good team - probably one of the most productive double acts since Sandra and Nala :D

The break-in was wonderful! After that it wasn't very challenging, but there were still fun and (for me) novel deductions to be made. I would rate it as a 2-star difficulty. The end was also very satisfying!
Thank you for the great puzzle <3

Wow! Such a great variety of logic and lovely interactions between the two types of lines. It wasn't easy, but there was always somewhere to look next.
