James Sinclair Tribute/Hommage
(Eingestellt am 1. Dezember 2024, 22:57 Uhr von Ryx)
Es gelten die normalen Sudoku-Regeln. Zusätzlich:
Die Summe der Ziffern in einem Käfig entspricht der Zahl in der Ecke des Käfigs. Ziffern können sich innerhalb eines Käfigs nicht wiederholen.
Die Zahlen außerhalb des Gitters ergeben die Summe der Ziffern zwischen 1 und 9 in dieser Zeile oder Spalte.
Die Idee für dieses Rätsel habe ich von zwei Dingen: Das monatliche November-Rätsel des CTC-Diskord-Servers (Geliehene Ideen) und ein kürzlich veröffentlichtes James-Sinclair-Rätsel, das Simon auf dem CTC-YouTube-Kanal gelöst hat.
Lösen Sie auf f-puzzles.com oder CTC
Lösungscode: Ziffern aus Zeile 8

Wow, honored and humbled. Really nice puzzle :)
@ jwsinclair - You are most welcome. And thank you for all your excellent puzzles ... and of course, the inspiration for this one.

Changed solution to just 9 digits and set difficulty to 2, since it seems like it is really a "more than one star" difficulty, more like 1.5.

I agree with your 1-star rating. Maybe 1.5 for the break-in. But it is a really nice puzzle. Thanks for sharing.
@ Visumation - Yes, 1.5 stars seems right, since this one's rating keeps bouncing between 1 and 2 stars. And thank you for the praise. The beginning was pretty easy to set, the middle a bit more challenging, then I was stuck on the ending for a while. I am really happy with the end result.

Gorgeous construction! Flowed like silk. Only suggestion: One row/column for the solution code might be quite enough?
@ Montikulum - Thank you for the kind words and advice. As someone else noted, they would like a 9 digit solution. It's funny, in 4 years of setting puzzles, this was the first time I got that feedback ... and twice :-) I will go ahead and change that.
@Ryx I normally tend to avoid writing it every time - it's simply that as a regular solver it tends to get a bit more tedious and in the end the number of solution digits does not change anything except making the process a bit quicker for both setter and solver. Thank you for reacting to that!

Definitely not a 1* puzzle, more like a 2/2.5.
Recommend having less digits on the solution string if possible for next time.
Great puzzle, thanks for creating :)
@ Squiz - Thank you for the kind words and advice. This puzzle seems to be bouncing between 1 and 2 stars. Funny, I've been setting puzzles for 4 years now, but this is the first time anyone has mentioned the two column answer (you and one other). Is that a new trend, just using 9 digits? I will go ahead and edit the solution for this one.

Fun!
@ askaksaksask - I am glad you enjoyed it. I really struggled with setting it (in regards to the ending) for a while, but it did finally come together.

Beautiful puzzle. Possibly the most challenging solve I've ever completed. I would never rate this a 1-star for difficulty. But definitely enjoyable. Thank you.
@ RussKozerski - Thank you and thanks for the input. I really felt like it was 1 star, but I guess that is because I knew the break in. I wasn't sure how apparent it would be, but the tribe has spoken - 2 stars it is.
