Islands
(Eingestellt am 7. Dezember 2021, 04:52 Uhr von SamuPiano)
This is a 9x9 map of the ocean - there are ocean cells and island cells.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Killer sudoku rules apply - digits cannot repeat within a cage and must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
Kropki rules apply - digits with a white dot between them are consecutive. There is no negative constraint.
HOWEVER, 18 cells - two in each box, row and column -are "island" cells - these do not count toward the cage totals. Only "ocean" cells count towards cage totals. There can be as many island cells as needed in any cage.
Happy solving!
Lösungscode: Row 8 of the solution.

Thank you for this fantastic puzzle, SamuPiano! It seemed so intimidating at first, but the more ocean and islands I got the more I could accelerate my solving speed. While being very challenging, everything kept on giving. Superb setting!

This series came highly recommended and with good reason, I can see. Incredible idea and incredible execution.

That was great fun. Having to place 2 islands in each set (instead of just one) leads to many interesting situations. I'm looking forward to hopping along to your other Island puzzles. :)

Neat puzzle! Took a fair bit to solve, but didn't feel totally impenetrable like some of these more unique constraint puzzle do sometimes. Awesome job!
