Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

Now you're thinking with portals!

(Published on 26. April 2025, 21:00 by josebastian8)

Welcome to Atorture Puzzles! I'm AlicIA, your guide and assistant through these facilities. Here you will find a grand variety of puzzle chambers, which will test some advanced skills like logic, observation and 1st grade arithmetics. The size of the chambers, as well as their difficulty, will vary without a defined criteria, hence you are free to solve them in the order you prefer.

Due to some legal procedures, we cannot longer experiment with humans (nor rats), but we are still allowed to drop some puzzles here and there as long as we don't collect any relevant data of the solvers. However, as I find your species quite irrelevant, any information or suggestion will be acquired and used to improve future puzzles. Thank you!

[DISCLAIMER] Atorture Puzzles TM does not take any responsibility if the subject suffers any injury or mental breakdown while trying to solve a chamber, including but not limited to: headache, extreme thirst, hallucinations, loss of religion, chocolate craving or others.

Rules

  • Normal sudoku rules apply.
  • Portal mechanics: Draw pairs of connected portals (one blue, one orange, same orientation [both horizontal or vertical]) on some cell edges such that the sum of the numbers separated by a blue portal is even (odd if the portal is orange). Any line that enters a portal must continue through the connected portal in the same direction.
  • Every chamber will stipulate the number of portal pairs required to solve it, some of which may be already activated. You can't use a higher number of portals, but maybe you can find an original solution that uses fewer.
  • Other sudoku variants may apply.

P.S. We ran out of cake. Sorry :(

Solving was GAS, but understanding the rules took me quite some time. I loved the intro!

Didn't see a unique solution until I reread the rules. Looking forward to the next level
