Christmas Wreath (Holiday Special Edition)
(Eingestellt am 23. März 2024, 08:30 Uhr von Playmaker6174)
Before continuing my bigger projects, I shall upload a fun accessible (while also nice looking) puzzle to everyone because well, a lot of people just love fun accessible puzzles for reasons, I guess. I know the holiday was already gone in like 3 months but I think this one will be a subtle refreshing breath before the chaos approaches x)
The following puzzle belongs to a part of my last year Secret Santa gift to a user on CTC Discord server known as
Dexter345. He mainly tackles on approachable and accessible puzzles with different genres, and so when I received a letter that I would be his secret santa, I knew what I got to do and eventually made a special pack for him (even with limited time).
I learned that this one was actually his most favorite of them overall - but all of the puzzles provided joys to him anyway - so I feel like I'd share it over here as well :)
(I mainly aimed to upload this one only but let me know if you want to try the entire pack, I can also try to upload them in the hidden comment of this post too, not like separate posts for the rest because well, I don't like to bombard the entire site)
In a sense, this one is also an application of
a particular result that was eventually showcased on a youtube channel named
Numberphile (I'm a pretty avid viewer of the channel by the way), so considering this as a 'follow-up' then x)
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Digits within a cage sum to the total written in that cage.
- Each set of three sequential cells along an orangey circle must contain one digit from set {1,2,3}, one digit from set {4,5,6} and one digit from set {7,8,9}.
- Two cells along a purple line contain consecutive digits to each other. Two cells along a green line contain digits with difference of at least 5.
Puzzle: F-puzzle -

Good luck and have fun solving!
Lösungscode: Row 5 (left to right), 9 digits long

The solution code, one character of which is already given, was particularly enticing!
Just kidding, I solved this because it looked extremely intriguing - and I was not disappointed! Thank you Plasmamaker! <3 4 stars difficulty for me because I had to stare at it for quite a while.
