Training on the Orient Express

(Eingestellt am 2. November 2023, 14:01 Uhr von ThePedallingPianist)

This is a prequel to Killer on the Orient Express, which has a similar ruleset. Both were constructed last year, but in my eagerness to publish only the most challenging puzzles, I chose to put only the harder of the two on LMD. I believe the ruleset is worth revisiting, so please have a go at Killer on the Orient Express if you enjoy this one!

F-puzzles



Normal sudoku rules apply.

Draw a "train" in the grid. The train is a line of orthogonally connected cells that cannot loop or branch, and can touch itself diagonally but not orthogonally. Its "carriages" are 2-cell Killer cages. The first carriage sums to 3, and thereafter each carriage's sum increases by 1 going along the train until the last carriage, which sums to 17.

Cells with grey circles are not on the train. A digit in a grey circle shows how many 'train cells' neighbour that circle orthogonally and diagonally.

Lösungscode: Row 1 (top row), left to right

Lovely puzzle. Thanks. Nice to find an approachable path building puzzle. I'll have to try the harder one next.

This puzzle definitely scratched my train-building itch as a champion Ticket to Ride player.

What a great puzzle!

Took me a while to grasp all the rules. Especially the fact that the numbers you add to the empty grey circles also serve a purpose really opened it up after being stuck for a while.

The last train disambiguation gave me so much joy

Really enjoyed this - not too difficult but very elegant and smooth throughout. I look forward to giving the harder one a go soon
