a new world record
(Published on 8. April 2026, 02:51 by aqjhs)
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
-
Full Rank:
- The digits on columns and rows, read in both directions, make a total of 36 numbers of nine digits each.
- Spaces outside the grid have a value equal to the rank for the indicated row/column among those 36 numbers, where the lowest is 1 and the highest is 36.
-
Hitlines:
- Values may not repeat on a beige hitline.
- The value of a circled cell on a hitline indicates how many digits match their position number along the line, starting at the end with the square (which is 'position 1'.)
- A number on the square indicates the sum of all values that match their position number along the line. (Each ? stands for any integer number, and it may not be the same as the value of its cell.)

I missed circle above C9 for ages solving on phone screen! Possibly contrast with underlying square could be enhanced. Nice idea, quite hard through the middle.

clarification: a "?" number may not be equal to the value of its cell.

Incredible construction (and a rather tricky mid-solve). Thanks for sharing.
