Slingshot Sudoku - Invisible Killers

(Published on 10. August 2020, 20:00 by stephane.bura)

This is a harder Slingshot puzzle. If you're not familiar with this ruleset, consider trying another one is this series first.



Normal Sudoku rules apply.

If an arrow is present in a cell, the digit in the cell the arrow comes from appears in the grid in the direction of the arrow at a distance of N cells,
where N is the digit in the arrow's cell.

Furthermore, if the arrow is black, it creates a virtual killer cage from the arrow cell to the projected digit's cell. The sum of the digits in the cage is the product of the arrow cell's digit and the projected digit.

In this puzzle, all the digits projected by black arrows are either 6 or 7.

Inverted the 6-7-slingshot in box 1 by mistake and still got a complete solution without contradictions ... fascinating!

Danke für deine Nachfrage, Mody, sonst wäre ich wahrscheinlich nicht darauf aufmerksam geworden! :-)

Oh nein, den letzten Satz hatte ich nicht gelesen und fand's ganz schön schwer reinzukommen!
Dann versuche ich es nochmal...

I disagree with my fellow solvers: This one certainly wasn't "by far" easier than previous ones for me (and I have solved every one in the series so far) - I rate it 4 stars, as the author suggests.

Wunderschön, vom Schwierigkeitsgrad her angenehme 3 Sterne

Sorry, manchmal kann ich nicht richtig denken ;)

@Mody two of them project the same digit.
That's a hint :)

Verständnisfrage:
Im Beispiel ist "the projected digit" 3?
Wenn in einem Block drei schwarze Pfeile sind, wie können sie dann alle auf 6 oder 7 zeigen?

Understanding question:
In the example "the projected digit" is 3?
If there are three black arrows in a block, how can they all point to 6 or 7?

nice variation but by far not as hard as previous slingshots. Nevertheless real fun to solve.
