Smelly Peas

(Published on 13. November 2025, 01:43 by MathGuy_12)

This was set for Scojo's Setting Saturday prompts. The prompt for this week was to create a puzzle using Split Pea Lines and White Kropki Dots.

Thanks to lmdemasi and aqjhs for testing!

Rules:

  • Normal sudoku rules apply.

  • Digits along either indicated major diagonal do not repeat.

  • White kropki dots separate cells with consecutive values.

  • Values in cells with a grey circle must be odd.

  • The sum of values in cells connecting two green circles is equal to a concatenation of the values in the circles, in some order. For instance, 3-346-1 could be a valid line, as 3+4+6=13=1 concatenated with 3. Circles containing double digits numbers are treated as one value, so two circles containing 10 and 23 could be concatenated to form 1023 or 2310.

  • Full Rank:
    • The values on columns and rows, read in both directions, make a total of 36 numbers of 9 digits.
    • Cells outside the grid have a value equal to the rank for the corresponding row or column among those 36 numbers, where the lowest is 1 and the highest is 36.
    • There are no ties in rank.

Solution code: The digits in rank 35 (9 digits)
