Peeking Snowman
(Published on 17. December 2025, 20:25 by gdc)
This puzzle was created for the December holiday theme of the sudoku adventure series. Thanks to my fellow adventure setters for testing and to rangsk for solving it. You can watch the solve here.
Region Sum Circles: Box borders split the outlines of the two largest circles into segments with equal sums.
Arms: Digits separated by an arm are consecutive.
Eyes One of the snowflakes the snowman is looking at has a 1:2 ratio with the digit in the head.
Other visual details are purely cosmetic.
Solution code: Bottom row (row 6) from left to right (6 digits).

@gnubeutel: there has been a breaking change in SudokuPad recently and many puzzles are affected by this. One workaround is to change the conflict checker to "classic only" in the settings. But I expect SudokuPad will revert this relatively soon.

My version of the puzzle had an anti-king constraint making the conflict checker go wild.
Would be interesting to use that to get a hidden resulting image.

Lovely snack with lovely art! The cramped constraints make for interesting and satisfying interactions! The hardest part was remembering which shapes were clues and which were just visual but it was well worth it for the charm of the art
