Schrödinger's Doublers
(Eingestellt am 13. Juli 2023, 18:31 Uhr von Oddlyeven)
What if Schrödinger's box was opened and there were two cats?
Rules: Put the digits 0 to 6 in every row, column and box.
Schrödinger Cells: One cell in every row, column and box is a Schrödinger cell that contains two digits. This cell's value counts as the sum of its digits for the following rules.
Doublers: One cell in every row, column and box is a doubler. This cell counts as double its value for the following rules. Each of the digits 0 to 6 appears exactly once in the set of doubler cells.
Region Sum Lines: The sum of the values on a line within a box must be the same for each box that line passes through.

The 9x9 sequel:, Schrödinger's Triplers
Lösungscode: Row 1, left to right. (7 digits. For the Schrödinger cell list the smaller digit first.)

@asp1310 Oddlyeven answered your question, but in the future if you encounter a ruleset like this the first thing I personally do is think about how many digits and/or values have to be in modified squares. Doing that there are 7 digits in this puzzle and per the rules each one must be in a doubler cell. If a doubler couldn't be an S cell the most digits you could accomodate is 6 so it is logically required. I only add this because some constructors will want you to figure that out so won't answer that question in the rules or an answer.

The 1st step was easy for me, and it gave an idea how the rules will work. The 2nd step was the hardest and I concluded a few times that this puzzle is impossible. Once I figured that step out it was a straightforward solve from there.
Nice logic, interesting rules. Well done.

Can S-cells also be doublers? This isn't clear. I.e. Can a [04] cell equal 8?
(Note: I'm not asking if this does actually happen. More if the rules allow it in the first place, or if the S-cell and doubler cell are - by the rules - two different cells.)
It is allowed - Oddlyeven

These rules are great. I understood them entirely, but still thought the solve was impossible until I understood them just a tad more :)

What a beautifully executed idea, looking forward to the bigger version

Updated wording on region sum line rules.

Thanks for the wonderful puzzle!

Shouldn't it read: "Region Sum Lines: The sum of the cell values ..." instead of "... sum of the digits ..."?
Good catch! Changed - Oddlyeven

Great stuff, as always! Had a good chuckle at the s-cells in the finished grid.

I really enjoyed how smooth this was. I love a good 6x6 :)

Double the Schrödinger, double the fun!

Lovely combo ! I love S-cells and doublers. Now the 9x9 maybe ? Thanks !
9x9 is out! - Oddlyeven
