(Published on 30. April 2025, 11:07 by alhobj)
Note: This puzzle has four solutions, you need to select a starting digit to solve it
Selection: Choose either R1C1 or R4C1. Place 1, 2, 3 or 4 in that cell.
Normal 4x4 sudoku rules apply: Each row, column and 2x2 box must contain the digits 1 to 4.Black kropki dots: Digits separated by a black kropki dot have a 1:2 ratio (ie one is double the other).
White kropki dots: Digits separated by a white kropki dot are consecutive.
Skyscrapers: Digits outside the grid indicate the number of digits “seen” from that vantage point with the higher numbers blocking lower numbers.
CTC Link: Click the image above.Difficulty selection:
Select R1C1 and fill it with 1 or 2 for a very very easy puzzle.
Select R1C1 and fill it with 3 or 4 for a very easy puzzle.
Select R4C1 and fill it with 2, 3 or 4 for a very easy puzzle
Select R4C1 and fill it with 1 for an easy puzzle.
Or see if you can solve it all eight different ways. Enjoy!

sum of digits is not the best idea for code, because it will be always ten :D

Rated low due to the absolute joke of a solution code that literally requires no solving effort to do

Fix the solution code so you have to actually solve it and you’ll have a higher rated puzzle.

Rating should be higher. It's a good set of snacks I enjoyed them all

Was the problem that you used R1C4 instead of R4C1 as a starting point? I fixed the text now.

In any 4x4 Sudoku, the sum of the digits in a row is always the same…

I know. Last time I posted I got some comments on how people did not like having to solve more than one puzzle to get the solution code, so this time I made it so you do not have to solve a single puzzle.
