Spiral Killer Sudoku
(Published on 10. September 2020, 16:05 by WsMontyG)
Regeln:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits in the killer cages sum up to the sum in the corner. Digits may not repeat.
Little Killer diagonals indicate the sum on that diagonal. Digits may repeat.
The spirals behave like thermos, but only in the same box. You can distinguish 4 big groups of spirals: 2 where the red spiral is on the outside, 2 where the green one is on the outside. Where the red spiral is on the outside the digits strictly increase (not necessarily in order) counter-clockwise. Where the green spiral is the big one, digits increase clockwise. The rotation stays the same for the group of spirals (so one group of 1 green and 1 red spiral has the same rotation).
Here is an illustration of how the rotation on the spirals works:
Solution code: Row 4, Colomn 4 (No comma, no space)

Hello, please add Sudoku tag. Also, it's apparently a bit odd to have both standard and variant puzzle tag at the same time :)
Monty: I tried, but I can't seem to find the tag anymore...

Would recommend using regular thermometers instead of colors next time! Maybe not as aesthetically pleasing, but it would make the solving process more enjoyable and not as confusing:) But otherwise a relatively easy and nice puzzle!
Monty: I agree and disagree. In my setting mind, I was thinking that it was part of solving the puzzle that it was kind of confusing how the spirals turn and to get a bit lost. I was thinking of Hitchcock's Vertigo when I was creating this puzzle ;)

Was heisst : Die Spiralen verhalten sich wie Thermometer, aber nur in der selben Box!
bedeutet dass, dass sich in den großen Spiralen (erstrecken sich jew. über 4 Boxen) "quasi" 4 Thermometer "verstecken"?
Monty: Auf den Spiralen müssen die Ziffern nur aufsteigen innerhalb einer 3x3 Box. Das heißt auf einer Spirale gibt es es mehrere Thermometer wenn man es anders ausdrücken will. Die sind dann immer so groß wie eine Box, dann fänkt ein neuer Thermometer an. Also genau wie du sagst, bei 4 Boxen gibt es dann "4 Thermometer"
