Whose Doubler Is It Anyway?
(Eingestellt am 23. August 2023, 12:30 Uhr von ViKingPrime)
PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Killer: The value of digits within a cage must sum to the number in the top-left corner. Digits must not repeat within a Killer cage.
MODIFIER:
• Doubler: There are 9 Doubler cells contained within the grid comprised of a set of the digits from 1-to-9. Each row, column and box contains exactly one Doubler cell.
for Killer values
Doublers contribute twice the value of the digit in that cell to cage totals.
• Stadiometer: From left-to-right, the digit of each Doubler cell indicates the row location of the Doubler cell in the next column (e.g. if there is a Doubler at R1C1 that is an 8, there is a Doubler at R8C2).
INTRODUCTION:
What a great show that was... I still miss it.
Here are the other entries in the "Stadiometer" series, for those interested:
"Rolling Hills (Killer)"
An example puzzle will follow to better illustrate the rules.
Have fun!

I'm doing fine, thanks for the good wishes. It seems like I still enjoy solving, after all, although my hiatus was indeed extended. It looks like your catalogue expanded greatly, so the outlook is promising for the born-again solver me.

More Stadiometer! Hurray. It twists my brain in a very pleasing way.

Fantastic puzzle! I loved the Stadiometer rule, and it's so clever how it works together with the other rules.

Like the rule set a lot! Took a second to get used to it, but then ended up a very fun solve!

Man this was fun. Took me a while to wrap my head around the interaction the stadiometers have, but once I did it made so much sense.
The box was also pretty amazingly complex and rewarding at the same time.
Thanks for a sweet puzzle Prime!

had to use some intuition and not logic to move past box 4. Hopefully someone does a video of this one so I can find out the logic. (edit: replayed it with a logical solve for box 4. if I found it the right way, it was very clever)

Lovely puzzle with a nice ruleset, which gave interesting deductions. 3 stars max in my opinion though. Thank you!

That's what I thought at first, went with the advice of my tester. I'll adjust - glad you enjoyed <3 -- VKP

I think this was my first stadiometerpuzzle. Loved it!

That would be because they didn't exist before XD I'm so glad you liked it! -- VKP
