Double-or-nothing
(Eingestellt am 13. August 2022, 09:30 Uhr von tesseralis)
Inspired by zetamath's recent doubler puzzles, I thought it was time to raise the stakes... and go double-or-nothing!
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-9 once in each row, column and 3x3 box.
Digits on an arrow must sum to the digit in the attached circle.
One cell in each row, column, and box is a "double-or-nothing" cell, which counts as either twice its value or as zero in any arrows it is a part of. Each of the digits 1-9 occurs exactly once as a double-or-nothing cell.
Lösungscode: Column 1 followed by column 9

Very cool idea and clever construction. I did it the hard way not using the fact all the double-or-nothing digits must be unique, until I got stuck quite close to the end actually. I still enjoyed it a lot and can only imagine (unfortunately) how much smoother it would have probably been if I knew how to read a ruleset.

Very nice follow up on zetamath's doubler puzzle ! These new rules kind of reset all knowledge about other rules that are combined with it. Thanks for this construction !
(I just could not disambiguate the nature of one of the "double or nothing" digit because it was not on an arrow.)

@christounet perfectly balanced, as all things should be ;)
