Two Twos and a Nine
(Eingestellt am 22. Januar 2025, 20:50 Uhr von ChinStrap)
This started solely because it sounds like "Two Truths and a Lie" at least in vowel sounds. But the resulting puzzle I am proud to share and hope you all enjoy as much as I did setting it! Special thanks to sujoyku for some initial brainstorming and detailed testing feedback.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Place three modifier cells in each row, column, and box. Two of the cells have a value of 2, and the third has a value 9, regardless of the digits that appear in those cells. Each digit 1-9 appears in exactly two "2-cells" and one "9-cell" in the grid.
- Renban Lines:Values on a pink line form a consecutive sequence without repeats in any order.
- X-Sums: Numbers outside the grid show the sum of the first x values from that direction, where x is the first of those values.
- Arrows: Values on an arrow must sum to the value in the circle.
- Black dots separate values in a 2:1 ratio. White dots separate consecutive values. Not all such dots are necessarily given.
All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!
Lösungscode: Digits in row 1 from left to right (9 digits)

Nice and relaxing puzzle. As long as you're careful with your pencil marks this is 3 stars difficulty max!

Nicely done, I found a lot of the time there were several different deductions available so there wasn't too much danger of getting stuck.

All the best puzzles start with the title first. Amazing work with this one.

Was I doubting myself more than once? Was my brain getting twisted in mad ways? And why on earth did I enjoy it nevertheless? :)
What a crazily good puzzle! Thank you so much for letting me test this gem, ChinStrap!
