Solver Series: Will Power
(Eingestellt am 12. Dezember 2024, 07:43 Uhr von Tingo)
Today, I'm releasing a nod to legendary setter, Will Power. Will, your puzzles are always a wonderful balance between art and enjoyability. Cheers!
The rules are as follows:
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
Digits along thermometers strictly increase from the bulb end. Additionally, digits along each distinct thermo sum to the total equal to the length of the thermo to the second power. i.e. If a thermo is a length of 3, the digits along the thermo sum 3^2, or 9.
Digits in a killer cage do not repeat. Additionally, the total the digits in the cage sum to is equal to the total number of cells within the cage, to the second power. i.e. If a cage contains 3 cells, the sum of the digits within the cage is 3^2, or 9.
Cells joined by white dots have consecutive values. Not all white dots are given.
The puzzle can be played at F-Puzzles here!
The puzzle can be played at CTC here!
Questions, comments, concerns and jokes are all welcome! Thanks for playing!
Lösungscode: Row 9 followed by Column 4, 18 digits total

Will is one of my favorite setter and I could not miss the tribute puzzle. Thank you @Tingo for this nice setting and to give us the opportunity to wish all the best to @Will.

A fitting tribute to the great and prolific setter Will Power. I appreciate it when setters construct cages that don't interfere with the all important corner markings.

Did some mistakes and needed to reset the whole puzzle... was worth it!
