There's neither "V" nor "X" in "Eight Knights"
(Eingestellt am 14. Januar 2025, 15:11 Uhr von Gauner)
- Normale 8x8-Sudoku-Regeln gelten.
- Anti-Knight: Zellen, die einen Rösselsprung (in Schach) voneinander entfernt sind, dürfen nicht die gleiche Ziffer beinhalten.
- XV: Benachbarte Zellen, die zu 5 addieren, sind mit einem V markiert. Benachbarte Zellen, die zu 10 addieren, sind mit einem X markiert.
- German Whisper: Benachbarte Zellen auf der grünen Linie müssen ein Differenz von wenigstens 5 haben.
Quadruples: Eingekreiste Ziffern müssen wenigstens einmal in den angrenzenden Zellen vorkommen.
- Eine Ziffer ist ein R.E.M.-Fan.
(Es wird sich eine 3 in einer Ecke des Rasters befinden)
Lösungscode: Diagonale von oben links nach unten rechts.

I was going to rate this at least 3 stars because it was way too difficult to figure out which corner was losing its religion in the end - before I realized I had totally forgotten this was a anti-knight puzzle. XD
Thanks for setting, this was a very interesting interaction of one less digit with the whisper line.

Solve Time: 47:28
I rated this 2/5 difficulty.
This was a really enjoyable and fun puzzle. It took me WAY longer than it should have, as for the first 30 minutes of my solve I just totally forgot that the negative XV constraint existed, but once I realized that, everything came together wonderfully.
During those first 30 minutes, I found some very nice logic on the 'more constrained' whisper digits (being this is an 8x8 sudoku), and colored up a lot of the grid. Once I realized that there were anti-XV rules, I was able to clean up my coloring and progressed nicely through the rest of the solve. I think my solve time would have been around 25-30 minutes if I had started with the XV rules in mind.
Overall the required logic was around 2/5 difficulty, but my forgetfulness made the solve harder than it needed to be. Regardless it was a fun solve!
Thanks for sharing!

Fun warm-up puzzle! Once you think about the right digits, it all falls into place neatly.

I sat there at the end with everything pencil marked, wondering how on Earth the puzzle solves. Love the last rule. Well done and great set.

That was very approachable and enjoyable, though I did rather make a meal of it!
