Happy Accident
(Published on 7. October 2025, 10:40 by oskode)
I was inspired by ChinStrap's recent puzzle Moving On Up to set my own puzzle featuring Numbered Rooms interacting with a constraint. The result is this! It turned out to be more of a proof of concept, but I still think it has a surprisingly smooth solve and wanted to share it.
Rules:
- Sudoku: Fill all rows, columns and marked 3x3 regions in the central 9x9 grid with the digits 1-9 without any repeats.
- Numbered Rooms: A digit X on the margin of the 9x9 grid indicate that the Nth cell in in the corresponding row or column must contain the digit X, where N is the first digit seen in that row or column.
- Region Sum Line: Region borders (including the edges of the 9x9 grid) divide the blue line into segments. The digits on each segment sum to the same total.
