Pointer Arrow Whisper Loop
(Eingestellt am 14. Dezember 2024, 01:49 Uhr von yttrio)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells. The loop may not touch itself, not even diagonally.
The loop acts as a German Whispers line (i.e., adjacent digits on the loop must have a difference of at least 5).
Loop Pointer Arrows:
-- Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in that arrow's bulb, and all bulbs are on the loop.
-- Additionally, arrow tips point towards a cell containing the digit within the arrow's bulb, and this cell with the pointed-to digit is also on the loop.
-- The digit in the arrow tip indicates the distance from the arrow tip to the pointed-to cell. There may be other instances of the same digit between this cell and the arrow tip.
6x6 Example:
The image below shows a sample 6x6 puzzle and solution with the same rule set.
Note: For 6x6 Sudoku, adjacent digits on a German Whispers line must have a difference of at least 3 (instead of the usual 5)
Play the example 6x6 in SudokuPad.
Lösungscode: Digits on the loop in row 5 (left to right) followed by digits on the loop in column 4 (top to bottom)

Really cool puzzle, and probably one of my favorite loops (both as a puzzle type and what the end result looks like). Took 80 min, the start was super challenging but once I got the ball rolling it went by quickly.

This took me 2.5 hours and a reset at the hour mark because I encountered a contradiction at 95% solved (then immediately realized I was wrong on an early deduction anyway), but damn that was worth it. Loved the aha moments that lead to that very satisfying finish.

This was amazing! Every bit felt earned and each stage of the puzzle felt equally slow and difficult and rewarding.
