Vide (Renban XV)

(Published on 4. January 2023, 13:36 by tallcat)

I've been tinkering with a few trickier ideas recently but also been trying to balance it with some more moderate and fun puzzles. This should sit at the lower end of 3/5 for most and for many will be firmly in the 2/5 range. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks to Mathpesto for title inspiration

Normal sudoku rules apply

Renban: Pink lines must contain a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.

XV: Cells separated by an X must sum to 10. Cells separated by a V must sum to 5. Not all X's and V's are given (no negative constraint)




Can be played online at f-puzzles or CTC

Solution code: Row 8 (left to right) followed by column 5 (top to bottom). 18 digits, no spaces.

MY first TallCat solve.

Really pleased to find the break in and that it remains a challenge to the end.

Thanks

If you're looking for the most plebe-friendly Tallcat puzzle, here she is. The break-in is definitely a challenge, but once you get it, it's just lovely. The whole thing is smooth but doesn't just fall apart after the break-in. Wonderful puzzle, Tallcat!

This puzzle was fantastic, it felt unrelenting, for so long, then cascaded beautifully to unlock so many secrets.

one of the best easy renbans i've ever played. the xv constraint perfectly complements the short renbans for a smooth and enjoyable solve path.

Couldn't agree more with other commenters... I've completed many 2* puzzles but this is one of the rare ones that challenged me with the break in and led to a really enjoyable solve all the way through. What a fantastic puzzle.

Thank you for this nice puzzle, tallcat! For me it was 3/5 difficulty, but I might be biased by the fact that I struggled with the break-in. :)
Once I got going, the solve had an enjoyable flow. Great setting!
