Mod! Rad! Pop! Quiz?
(Published on 25. October 2023, 17:41 by rockratzero)
A bit of a nod to mnasti2's Quiz puzzles, and 'third derivative' following Square Roots by Jobo, and my Radical Signage. Also check out Jobo's followup Radical Rainbow. Enjoy!
Normal Sudoku Rules: Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and 3x3 box with no repetition.
Modular Lines: Each set of three digits along a teal line must comprise a full set of the digits modulo 3, i.e. one each of [147],[258],[369].
Square Roots: Digits in squares on the teal lines must be equal to the square root of the one- OR two-digit number displayed in the corresponding circle OR pill, read left-to-right.
X Pairs: Digits separated by an X must sum to 10. Not all X are given.

Great puzzle, I love these rad/mid combo and the circle OR pill variation was an awesome addition. I misunderstood the mod line rules, which made the puzzle harder than it needed to be. Flowed beautifully after correcting my error.

This was the first puzzle I've encountered with the Modular Lines rule, and I needed someone else in Discord to clarify it for me. However, once I understood, everything flowed easily enough for even a novice like me to understand! Fun puzzle!

I'm confused. Where there is a circle inside a pill, the second pill digit MAY be totally irrelevant?

Thanks for checking out the puzzle. Sorry for the confusion. Yes, if for instance you had 3 as the sqrt of 9, the 9 would go in the circle and the second digit in that pill would be irrelevant to the math. This was best how I could imagine to incorporate one OR two digit squares.
