Equalies
(Published on 9. November 2026, 12:49 by sujoyku)
I’d like to thank raaaaa and Marty Sears for testing and wish you joyful solving!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each Row, Column, and 3x3 Region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- Liar Cells: Each Row, Column, and 3x3 Region contains one liar cell, whose real value is different from its digit.
Every liar cell contains a different digit from 1 to 9.
Every liar cell has a different value from 1 to 9.
- Equalines: On each line the values add up to the same total that has to be determined by the solver. Values may repeat on a line if allowed by sudoku rules.
- Inequality: The inequality sign is a "greater than" and points to the lower value.
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Values in Column 9 from top to bottom (9 digits in total)

Beautiful puzzle. I got a bit stuck somewhere towards the end trying to disambiguate the last liar digits. Not sure I followed the intended solve path there but a series of tight deductions helped me make my way through. Very enjoyable!
