Eleven Stars: Star-Sums Sudoku
(Eingestellt am 5. Mai 2021, 17:50 Uhr von Mad-Tyas)
Ich bin sehr interessiert, ob die Regel, möglicherweise unter einem anderen Namen, bereits existiert. Mir ist sie noch nicht begegnet. Aber erstmal: Viel Spaß beim Lösen!
Sudoku bei Penpa+
Regeln:
Es gelten normale Sudoku-Regeln. Das Gitter enthält elf Star-Sum-Clues. Eine Star-Sum wird wie folgt ermittelt: Du startest von der Clue-Zelle und gehst x Zellen in jede der vier orthogonalen Richtungen, wobei x die Zahl in der Clue-Zelle ist. Dann addierst du die vier Zahlen in den entsprechenden Zellen und die der Clue-Zelle selbst. Im finalen Gitter müssen diese fünf Zahlen in Summe die Zahl ergeben, die in der unteren, rechten Ecke der Clue-Zelle gegeben ist. Das Gitter muss als Torus behandelt werden (d. h. wenn der Weg zu einer Zelle, auf die ein Star-Sum-Clue verweist über den Rand des Gitters hinaus geht, setzt er sich auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Gitters fort).
Lösungscode: Die untere Reihe von links nach rechts

Very nice. And after two times breaking Richard's SVS puzzle from today I've understood where to look at.
Very interesting ruleset. Looks even better than other rulesets with pointers. And this puzzle deserves much more attention. Maybe the SVS puzzle leads solvers to this one.

Thanks for the feedback. That is an interesting point to think about for coming setting attempts. I agree that this strongly questions my estimation of the difficulty.

Nice logic, but only 2 star difficulty for me.
My observation is that as a general rule, the suggested difficulties of puzzles by new setters are often significantly off. I believe the reason is that they tend to focus intensely on the logic but neglect the placement of the clues: If there are few places to look for clues (as in this case), they will be found even if the logic itself is not obvious; if on the other hand there are plenty places to look but no rhyme or reason, the right clue might be too twisted to find (as in a computer-generated hard sudoku).
For an experienced setter, placement of the clues is as important as the logic, if not more so. Because it's usually the clues (and not the logic) that guides the solver, and that requires the art of making clues hard to find, but identifiable once found. Or, as jovi_al explained in her setter's video for CTC, the solver should be rewarded for finding the right clue (and only then).

Thanks for trying and solving my puzzle! I took another look on the step you mentioned and you are right. I missed an option during the setting.
Thanks for the hint! I see that there is a lot i have to learn :D
I will provide a corrected version of the puzzle soon.
