Pick Your Potion (ft. sujoyku)
(Eingestellt am 2. April 2025, 08:30 Uhr von Nordy)
An exploration of Equal Split Lines and ambiguity in a very fun collaboration with sujoyku. Difficulty estimated at 2.5 stars.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Certainty—Equal Split Lines
- Each blue line is split into segments with equal sums. Digits cannot repeat within a segment. Different lines may have different sums. For example, a valid Equal Split Line could read 28-712-46-1234.
Uncertainty—Renbans or Whispers. Additionally, each line is either a Renban line or a German Whisper line:
- Renban: Digits on a Renban line form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits, but may be written in any order
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a German Whisper line differ by at least 5
Solve Online:
Lösungscode: Digits on Renban lines in Row 2, then Row 5, then Row 8 (read from left to right in each row)

Great puzzle with lots of interesting deductions. It is always a pleasure to solve a a sujoyku puzzle or a Nordy puzzle. But both?!?! Come on, I don't deserve this!

I don't think I've ever seen a puzzle before that looks so symmetric, and yet with such an asymmetric - and beautiful solve path. I'm very impressed.

This felt like the kind of puzzle that would come from 2 of my favorite setters teaming up. Oh wait, that's exactly what happened. Thank you both!
