Network (Double Arrows/Counting Circles)

(Published on 6. April 2025, 00:01 by damo_89)

It is one year since I posted my first puzzle to Logic Masters. This was one of my first puzzle drafts, combining counting circles and double arrows, but I could not get the mid-solve to work. I have re-worked this and the break-in is easier, but I am much happier with the mid and end solve. Consensus testing opinion was between 2 and 3 stars. Good luck!

  • Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box
  • Counting Circles: A digit in a circle indicates the number of circles that contain that digit. For example, if a 3 were in a circle, then three circles contain the digit 3
  • Double Arrows: Digits along a grey line have the same sum as the sum of the two circles on either end. Circles at the end of double arrows are also counting circles
