Bicycle 2 [extended XV - virtual sudoku]
(Eingestellt am 2. Oktober 2021, 05:04 Uhr von SimplePurpleFrog)
Inspired by countless hours of trying to keep up with Cracking the Cryptic and the clarity of Clover's setting masterclass, here is my third shot at setting.
This hand-crafted puzzle does not need bifurcation, long chains, nor does it require full pencil marks.
My goal: something fun and novel.
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Diamonds: the two digits either side of a diamond sum to 5, 10 or 15. Not all diamonds are given.
- Arrows: the digit in the circle is the sum of the digits on the arrow.
- Thermos: digits must increase from the bulb end.
- German whispers lines: adjacent digits on the red lines must be 5 apart or more.
Please let me know how you get on.
Play it on F-Puzzles (note: the Diamond constraint does not work in the solver or conflicts checks, I'm afraid you have to do this yourself).
Additional tags: Arrows, Thermos, German whispers.
Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn mir jemand eine Übersetzung meines Rãtsel ins Deutsche zur Verfügung stellen würde.
Lösungscode: All digits on row 5 and column 8

Whoops, did I make a mistake when I "solved" it? Just tried, and you are both right - sorry. Back to the drawing board for a better version.
