Cubedoku Appetizer
(Published on 9. September 2024, 01:57 by Andrewsarchus)
Rules:
- Each visible face of the cube is an irregular 5x5 sudoku grid, which contains the digits 1 through 5 once each in every row, column, and region.
- Every digit in each grid indexes a 1x1x1 target cell within the cube, and each target cell must be indexed by all three
grids.
For example:
The digit 1 in a cell specifies that the target cell is the 1x1x1 cube closest to the surface of the cube where the digit is located, whereas a digit 2 in a cell indicates that the target cell is the second cube down from the surface, and so on.

Worked out some of the interactions of the cube, but then couldn't find a way to proceed other than a lot of case-checking.

A very interesting idea! Loved that.
Got the useful insight, but it still took a long time until finding the right breakin point. After finding that and getting my first digit, the remainder solved itself almost automatically. Lovely puzzle!

Nice puzzle - took a bit for my brain to figure out how to use the information in the cube, but overall clean to solve
