Primetime 03: Just some V and X sums
(Published on 11. December 2025, 22:09 by Markus)
1. Normal Sudoku rules apply.
2. Cells joined by a V sum to 5. Cells joined by a X sum to 10. Not all V and X sums are given.
3. Primes see the digit 1 at least once in distance of their value in orthogonal direction, if allowed by the size of the grid.
Solution code: Row 9

Perfect puzzle for me, a new rule that I hadn't come across and set at an easy level for me to get through. Very much enjoyed it.

I stumbled for some time because rule 3's wording made it seem like 1 must be WITHIN the distance of the prime's value, rather than exactly that far away. If I may suggest new wording for rule 3:
Each prime number is exactly its own value away from the digit 1 in at least one orthogonal direction, if allowed by the size of the grid

Quite approachable once rules implications are understood. On the top half of one star

The prime rule is really good. Being unfamiliar with the rule made it hard to break in but was smooth after that. Thanks for the puzzle.
