XOV to Boise (0-9 Challenge)
(Eingestellt am 17. Dezember 2024, 17:44 Uhr von The Bard)
Extended Sudoku rules apply, place the digits 0-9 in each row, column, and box, however there will be one digit in each that does not fit. This digit can vary between rows, columns, and boxes and needs to be determined by the solver.
XV: Digits separated by an X sum to 10, those separated by a V sum to 5. All Xs and Vs have been given.
Even: Digits in a cell with a marked square must be even. For this puzzle zero is considered even.
Ratio Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio.
Anti-King: Cells that are a King's move apart (in chess) may not contain the same digit.

What a beautiful puzzle, The Bard. It's closer to five stars if you forget about the anti-king! I'm looking forward to going back and trying the other puzzles in this series.

I did end up enjoying the puzzle.

It's a great one. A bit tough to colour with this tenth digit.
Congrats, The Bard.

Thank you. Something I have started doing is using letters rather than colors for that very reason. And keeping the colors not for individual cells but rather groupings.

Absolutely phenomenal setting, Bard. I started the puzzle coloring of course and quickly got stuck for about 10 minutes. Then I remembered the king's move rule (doh!). After that, it progressed to the break-through point very nicely. This is one of your best. Really enjoyable. Thank you.

Thank you. You are always so encouraging.
FYI, I know you love these 0-9 puzzles, so I wanted to point out that my last puzzle seems to have slipped past you since it is not showing you solved it, “Murder Mystery 5”.

Alas, I tried that puzzle twice and both times I came to a conflict in box 5 with the german whispers. i presume I made a silly mistake both times but i couldn't figure it out. I will try again while on vacation from work (had vacation days to use up).

The CTC link does not match the image, and does not seem possible.

My apologies. I have updated it now.

What's a "bordered square"?

I have clarified the instructions. I am sorry for not making it more clear.
