PEArates of the QUADribbean (with sujoyku)
(Published on 6. March 2025, 03:49 by Calvinball)
This puzzle came to be when the Scojo puzzle prompt challenged you to team up with a setter you haven't worked with before to create a puzzle together, each setter choosing one of the two constraints allowed in the puzzle. I asked the wonderful sujoyku if they would like to partner up, and was delighted to get a "yes" in response. We chose Split Peas and Quads, and the rest is history.
A big thank you to ChinStrap and SamuPiano taking an early look at this puzzle and their valued feedback.
If you have any questions feel free to DM us on Discord.
Happy solving!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column, and box.
- Split Pea Lines: Digits on a line between two circles sum to a two-digit number written using the digits in the circles. For example, 3_346_1 could be a valid split pea line, as 3+4+6=13, which is 1 concatenated with 3.
- Quads: Digits in a circle must appear in the four cells surrounding the circle.
Solution code: Column 8
