Eight Layered Sandwich

(Published on 21. April 2024, 12:07 by Niverio)

This puzzle was set in the speed setting competition March Madness, hosted by dumediat in the Skunkworks server. Despite being set in around 70 minutes and me having no prior experience with Double Decker Sandwiches (which was the constraint picked by my opponent, Ambrose), I think it turned out nicely, so am posting it here as well for all of you to enjoy. Estimated difficulty is solid 3 stars.

Rules:
Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 into each row, column and outlined 3x3 box without repeats.
Quadruples: There are circles in the grid which occupy the corners between some cells called quadruples. Digits in the circles must all appear at least once in the cells touching them. If a digit appears more than once in a circle, then that digit must appear at least that same number of times in the touching cells.
Double Decker Sandwiches: In this puzzle, digits 1, 5, and 9 are crusts. An outside clue gives the sum of the digits sandwiched between the two closest crusts to the clue in its row or column.

Puzzle Links: You can solve this puzzle in either SudokuPad or in F-Puzzles.

Felt like a perfect introductory puzzle to double decker sandwiches. Very nicely done - and even more so for the time frame!

Setting these complicated puzzles is always blowing my mind, let alone doing that in 70 minutes.

Funny thing, I actually mis-clicked the link and thought I was solving a 1* puzzle.I started to feel a bit embarrassed by how long it took me and how I must've missed bunch of easy deductions. I can't tell you how relieved I was to see that 3* rating in the end. XD
