Ripples

(Eingestellt am 6. September 2024, 17:54 Uhr von the_cogito)

This puzzle is a variation on a constraint from a recent speed setting competition organized by Gene The Supreme. Had a lot of fun setting this, but it was rather tricky to get to work, I hope you like it!

Rules:
  • Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  • Indicated cages are vaults. Digits in a vault may not appear in any cells orthogonally adjacent to that vault. Digits may repeat in a vault.
  • A vault's "sum" is the sum of its contained digits (e.g. a vault containing 1, 2, and another 1 would have a sum of 4).
  • Every vault lies entirely within a square-shaped ring of cells centered around the grid's center. Vaults in rings further from the grid's center must have sums larger than vaults in rings closer to the grid's center. Vaults in the same ring need not have equal sums.


And the puzzle. Note that the colors are for illustrative purposes only, and are not present in the solving links:

Brilliant puzzle! Lots of great moments and realizations, my favourite of which was figuring out how the blue-ring cage in box 7 resolves.

Very nice puzzle! I don't necessarily recommend solving it late at night though, as some arithmetic is required :D

Was stuck at cages in box4 and 7 but it was amazing when I figured it.

Really took me a little while to wrap my head around the break-in but it was worth it as the puzzle unravelled beautifully
