Fearful Symmetry (Renban Killer)

(Published on 28. April 2025, 05:00 by tallcat)

A few weeks back, i set a puzzle for the magnificent SudokuCon Quilt (highly recommended) that was assembled by James Sinclair. I really liked aspects of the opening logic that I used for that one and decided it was worth re-purposing for a separate puzzle. So we here we are!! Happy solving

Normal sudoku rules apply

Killer sudoku: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the given total in the top left corner.

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




Can be played online at F-puzzles and Sudokupad

Solution code: Row 5 (Left to right). 9 digits, no spaces

Great break in. Many very hard technical steps. 4* bumpy. Thx for sharing.

Very nice puzzle. The break in wasn't to hard for me, but i struggled a lot. I fear i missed a trick or two. Or three. Or nine.

Some lovely tricks on this one.
Very well done, as usual.

Quite hard (well, at least for me) to find the amazing break-in, and after that the struggle went on, up to the last renban… I clearly missed some easier steps, but don’t know which… After all it was a satisfying pleasure to solve this great puzzle. Thank you very much for creating and sharing.
