Yule Goat
(Eingestellt am 3. Januar 2025, 11:52 Uhr von gUBBLOR)
Jasura and I created this for the winter holiday of 2024. We wanted to release it for
when the goat got destroyed, but this year it survived all through to the end. There are two versions of the puzzle, one to fit the theme and one where all the constraints have their standard colors/appearance.
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Entropy (Yule goat body): The hay/peach colored line is an entropic line. Each set of three consecutive digits on the line must be one each from (1,2,3), (4,5,6), and (7,8,9). Digits may repeat on the line.
Region Sum Line (Horn/tail): Digits along each brown/blue region sum line have the same sum within each box the line passes through. Digits may repeat on the lines.
Renban (Ribbons): Digits along each red/pink renban line must be a set of consecutive digits in any order, and must not repeat.
X (Mouth): Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Not all X's are shown.
Black kropki dot (Eye): A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are shown.
White kropki dots (Snowflakes): A snowflake/white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.

Lösungscode: A completion message with the solution code will be available when the puzzle has been solved on Sudokupad!

Nice and easy.
There are ZERO defects in this puzzle. (Being easy is NOT a defect.) Furthermore, the setter deserves EXTRA credit for the extra effort put into the graphics. Therefore, the quality rating is unreasonably low.

I know it's a goat but did you hear what happened to Rudolph when he went on the roller coaster ride?
He was so scared he held on for dear life. (Read it out loud.) ;)

Beautiful aesthetic and fun puzzle. Just FYI, some solvers will give you a lower rating due to two row/column solution codes. Usually they prefer one row or column or box. Thanks for sharing!

Hooray for the goat's survival
