Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

So ChinStrap introduced me to the concept of slowscrapers and I had to take them to the dög.

• Normal sudoku rules apply.
• Doppel-Dög loop:
  • Draw an orthogonal non-branching closed loop that doesn't cross or touch itself, not even diagonally.
  • The loop "starts" at the cell marked with the dog and is considered to be oriented in the direction indicated by the arrow (i.e. r7c7 and r7c8 are in the loop).
  • A cell on the loop with a digit D will have a value equal to the digit D steps away along the loop in the orientation given by the arrow.
  • Cells not on the loop will have a value equal to the digit in them.
• Adjacent digits (not values) along the loop must have a difference of at least 5.
• Clues outside the grid are Slowscraper (slow skyscraper) clues: a number outside the grid indicates the number of values seen in that direction, for that effect, values block any strictly lower values from being seen, but they don't block equal or higher values.
• Cells marked with a circle are not part of the loop and have a digit equal to the count of the, up to 8, neighboring loop cells.
• Cells joined by a ball have the same value.
