Nabner Pins
(Eingestellt am 22. Dezember 2024, 12:07 Uhr von ebiggie)
RULE SET:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each row, column, and box.
The GREY lines are Nabner "Pins". There may not be consecutive or repeated digits along these lines.
The HEAD of the pin (denoted with a grey circle) must be the HIGHEST digit on that Nabner pin.
The TIP of the pin (the opposite end of the pin head) must be the LOWEST digit on that Nabner pin.Digits along a line that are between the pin head and pin tip may appear in any order. For example: 9-7-4-1, or 9-4-7-1. The digit "9" would be on the pin head and the digit "1" would be on the pin tip.

Thanks Killer-Ly and NCtide! Yeah, I think I need to clarify the rule set. Much appreciated!

Liked the nabner pin rule. The sentence about appearing in a certain order was confusing since the middle digits do not need to be in order. Perhaps giving examples of possible combinations would help clarify?

For me it was a quick and easy solve. And I think there is no confusion about the highest and lowest digit (reading the comments), because if you have arrows you also have the highest digit in the circle. A pin is a pin, a thermometer a thermometer and an arrow is an arrow.
Thank you for this lovely puzzle!
I would set the difficulty two stars

Thank you very much for the puzzle. Would be more intuitive to regular solvers, if followed thermometer convention where the "pin-head" is the lowest number.

Thanks mos! I didn't think of that. Appreciate your comment :)

Apologies if the rule set isn't so clear. The 4 line Nabner pins need to have the highest digit on the pin head, the lowest digit on the pin tip. The two digits in between can be in any order. But a complete line remains Nabner. All the digits must be non-consecutive. :)

The rule are not clear to me: Is 5-2-4-1 a valid "Nabner-Pin"?

Hello StefanSch, No that wouldn't be a valid line as the 5 and 4 are consecutive.

Quite enjoyable with flowing logic - thanks :-)

I think this one might be somewhere between a 3 and 4 star difficulty. It's hard to tell when you're the setter. I put it at a 3 to not discourage people from trying it. Please leave any comments or helpful criticisms as I'm still new to setting. Enjoy :)
