Kin-Kon-Kan Sudoku
(Published on 18. July 2026, 19:45 by Gliperal)
Fill the grid so that every row, column, and box contains the digits 1-7, one / mirror and one \ mirror. Each clue shines a beam of light into the grid that travels straight horizontally and vertically and reflects off of mirrors until it exits the grid at the edge. Clue values give the sum of digits along a beam's path. If a beam enters the same cell twice, the digit in that cell is counted twice. The ?s may be any digit except 0.
Example:
Solution code: Row 5, Column 4 (/ and \ for mirrors)
