Foggy “Pair”-rows
(Eingestellt am 8. Januar 2025, 14:09 Uhr von Visumation)
Rules:
Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every 3x3 region. No row or column can repeat a digit.
There are nine 3x3 regions in the grid which have to be located by the solver. Clues outside the grid indicate how many cells belong to regions in the direction pointed to.
A digit in a cell with arrows indicate the sum of the digits in the cells N steps away in the directions pointed to, where N is the digit in the cell with the arrows. Empty cells do NOT contribute to the “steps”-count.
In the finished solution, the directions pointed to by clues outside the grid, must sum to a multiple of that clue.
Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
Additionally the grid is partially covered in fog. The fog will clear in surrounding cells when a digit is placed correctly.
Lösungscode: Digits in row 4 and row 5.

What a brilliant puzzle, I loved how there were essentially three different layers to it because of each of the rules around arrows.
Thanks a lot for your kind comment. Happy you enjoyed the puzzle. /vis

Snookerfan directed me to a wrong-doing in the rules. Thanks

Very nice puzzle! I think the wording of the rules about the arrows is not correct: I think it should read that empty cells do NOT contribute to the steps-count. Furthermore I made the assumption that every arrow has to point at a cell with a digit in it, so it could not point to an empty cell as implied by my previous statement, and also so it could not point across the borders of the puzzle, which proved to be correct. Thank you
Oh my god. Did I forget NOT in the rules. Thanks a lot. I do think that will take care of the other concern. I will fix right away. Thanks for solving and fixing.
