Bouncy Balls ft. Qodec (Pointing Arrows)

(Eingestellt am 24. Mai 2024, 15:31 Uhr von purpl)

Here is a brief history lesson, back in November of 2021 when I was but a wee lad, a wonderful setter by the name of Qodec and I collaborated on the puzzle you see here today. There had been a recent puzzle by Mr.Menace with the pointing arrow constraint that piqued my interest. My first attempt was Bacteria but that felt a bit like cheating and I was struggling to make something with just pointing arrrows. When I was discussing it on the CTC Discord server, Qodec offered to help and the puzzle really took off bouncing! Later on I would publish another pointing arrows puzzle. However, we kept putting off publishing this one because for a while I was going to publish then he was going to publish and it just never happened. So now, a blast from the past, I present Bouncy Balls by Qodec

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrows circle.

Additionally, the digit in an arrow's circle will repeat in a cell pointed at by that circle's arrow tip. This repeat can be one or more cells away from the arrow tip (but not the arrow tip cell itself).

For clarity, if there are two arrow tips, both must see a repeated circle digit.

Fun breakin, fairly easy after that, with the extra rule making a couple more key deductions.

For clarity, circles that have two arrow tips attached must have both tips pointing at a copy of the circle's digit.

Thank you! I have added this clarification to the post.

I certainly remember solving this back then as one of the first ones, and it’s still lots of fun to revisit this! Thanks for a sweet puzzle (again) :)
