Sudoku | Fill the grid with the digits 1-9 so that no row/column/3x3box contains repeated digits. |
---|---|
Tantalus | (always out of reach) A clue (X) outside the grid indicates that in the corresponding row/column/diagonal the digit X may not appear in the first X cells away from the clue. |
Sandwich | A clue (X) outside the grid indicates the sum of the digits sandwiched between a 1 and a 9 in the corresponding row/column/diagonal. |
Digits may repeat on diagonals.
In case of multiple sandwiches along the same diagonal, only the widest sandwich counts, i.e., the sandwich between the 1 and the 9 that are the farthest apart. |
|
Find <T> | The digit T must be determined by the solver. |
Kropki |
Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits.
Not all dots are given (i.e., there are no negative constraints). |
Fun fact: I created this puzzle entirely without using any automated solving tools. I usually rely on such a tool to quickly gauge whether one or more solutions exist. This puzzle however was set by manually trying to solve it for each clue that was added/removed/changed, until I was satisfied with the result, which was this very puzzle.
Solution code: Row 8 and row 9 (no spaces)
