Aber nicht überbieten... maximum capacity
(Published on 3. March 2025, 12:51 by olima)
Maximum Capacity
Rules:
⚪ Normal Sudoku rules apply.
⚪ Kropki pairs: Black dots indicate digits in a ratio of 1:2. Not all dots are necessarily show.
⚪ Indexing: Red cells are column indexers, i. e. they show the position of the cell's column number in that row, e. g. a 7 in a red R2C1 would put a 1 in R2C7. Green cells are row indexers, i. e. they show the position of the cell's row number in that column, e. g. a 7 in a green R2C1 would put a 2 in R7C1.
⚪ Maximum-Capacity-Cages: Digits in cages do not repeat and show the maximum capacity of the cage. If the actual total is bigger than the capacity, all cells of the cage are red, otherwise green.

What a great set of rules! After wrapping my head around them, I felt the beginning of the puzzle wass quite easy. But after getting a bit further the difficulty increased and I realised that the start was just the warm up to get me used to the rules! :)

Fixed a typo in the example given in the rules (English version and Sudokupad).

Fun puzzle. But it broke my mind to switch orientation depending on value.
What marcmees means is the part
> e. g. a 7 in a green R2C1 would put a 2 in R1C7.
should be
> e. g. a 7 in a green R2C1 would put a 2 in R7C1.

olima: Thank you for the information... fixed it, both in English version asd the Sudokupad ruleset. Note to myself: Don't copy-paste and translate at the same time. ;-)

This puzzle prooves that for experienced solvers easy puzzles still can be great fun. The title reminds me of Der Preis Ist Heiss :-)

Indexing always makes my brain freak out, but I made it through with some patience, ha ha.
