Lines of Equality

(Published on 1. November 2021, 02:15 by Mad-Tyas)

This puzzle is an equal-sum variant with lines instead of cages.

Rules:

Sudoku: Fill every row, column and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.

Equalines: On each line the digits add up to the same total that has to be determined by the solver. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by sudoku rules.

Have fun solving!

In the last few weeks I have constructed several puzzles with this ruleset. I was surprised how versatile the lines can be used.

Please leave a comment if you liked the puzzle and are interested in further Equalines puzzles.

Fun fact about this puzzle:
Of the 10 Equalines puzzles I had constructed by the time I uploaded it, this is number 4. It's also the most minimalistic construction so far with only 37 cells on lines.

Solution code: Row 9 followed by column 9 (18 digits)
