Sudoku Variant (Hidden Skyscrapers)
(Published on 14. May 2020, 11:54 by ahaupt)
Each digit in the grid represents a skyscraper of that height. If a cell contains an arrow, then the number in that cell denotes the number of skyscrapers that are visible in that direction from this vantage point (on the ground). Higher skyscrapers hide lower skyscrapers.
Example: (Please pay special attention to the arrow next to the left-most 2: Although 2>1, from the ground one can see both skyscrapers 1 and 3.)
Puzzle:
(I'm sorry about having to improvise and make the cells twice as large. I wanted to have space for the arrows and numbers...)
Let me know what you think about this variant. Please enjoy!
Solution code: Second row, eighth column. (all in a row, 18 digits)

Die Skyline anhand einiger vager Richtungsangaben zusammenpuzzeln hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Schönes Rätsel.

Danke. Schau dir mal Hochhausblöcke-Rätsel an. Das ist eine meiner Lieblingsvarianten, hier nicht passend.

It is not Sudoku, it's 'Standardrätsel'. You see it 'mouse over'.

Not to be nitpicking, but you shouldn't name this puzzle just skyscraper sudoku, since puzzles with that name have clues outside the grid, like here: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0002D9
The type you published is more like hidden skyscrapers, such as this one: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0002DL
