Hundred Acre Wood
(Published on 3. February 2026, 22:43 by NotSoMagnifique)
The esteemed juggler had the option to choose Scojo's Setting Saturday prompt last weekend, and he asked that we all try to create some kind of new constraint, and use only the new constraint and given digits to construct a puzzle. There will be a part 2 to his prompt this coming weekend, and I'm looking forward to it!
----
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Hundred Acres - the digits inside a brown cage must multiply to a value of 100. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules. Additionally, digits orthogonally adjacent to the cage must be a different entropy (low [1,2,3], medium [4,5,6], or high [7,8,9]) than their orthogonal neighbor within the cage.
Examples - R5C1 and R6C1 must be from different entropic sets, but R4C7 and R3C8 could be from the same set since R3C8 does not touch R4C7 orthogonally.---
Puzzle:
Solution code: Row 5 digits, left to right

I was stuck until I noticed that the cages multiply to 100 exactly and not a multiple of 100. Managed to get pretty far without that info.

I was stuck for a while until I noticed the entropy constraint, it fell apart quickly with that. Thank you

Nice! I enjoyed the interaction between the rules.
