Cups, mugs and donuts
Here is a nice puzzle I wanted to set since Christmas! Finally found the time and an appropriate ruleset. Let me know what you think! :)
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
- The cell with a filled circle must be odd.
- 3 zones Ying-Yang: Fill the grid using 3 colors such that each color forms an ortogonnally connected area that can not contain any 2x2 square.
- Equal sum lines: Each line must pass through all 3 colors at least once. Along a line, each segment of consecutive cells of the same color sum to the line total. Two lines can NOT have the same total. The color of the line only helps to differentiate the intersection in r6c5.
Link: CtC app
Lösungscode: All the digits of the region containing r3c4. From left to right, top to bottom.

That was very fun and engaging , I thought. Not too difficult perhaps, but tricky nonetheless. The extra color makes you doubt all the normal "secrets" and really understand and think through every step.

As long as you can correctly determine the approximate path of 3 groups of different colors, the difficulty of this puzzle will not be too high.
Of course, this may be the biggest difficulty of this puzzle.
All in all, difficult and fun, thanks a lot!

Azireo: Yeah, I put 4* because testers had trouble with the break-in, but it might be 3 if you find the trick easily. Thank you very much for your feedback!
