Imagine A Bus
(Published on 10. May 2026, 00:00 by FIT7Y)
Rules:
Place the digits 1-9 once each into every row, column, and box.
Disjoint:
Cells in identical box positions do not contain repeated digits.
Tesbus Cages:
A cage cannot include every digit from another cage - in other words, no cage is a subset of any other. Digits in a cage do not repeat.
A white dot separates a pair of consecutive digits.
A black dot separates a pair of digits where one is double the other.
Have fun solving!
Solution code: Row 6

Impressive puzzle! This combines my favorite new constraint (tesbus) with my least favorite old one (disjoint sets because I can't scan, lol)
There is some clever big picture logic to be found in thinking about how all the cages fit together. Once I had that figured out, it took me a long time to fill in all the details. I probably missed a couple things along the way that would have sped up the solution
