Kropki Squares

(Eingestellt am 10. September 2022, 20:31 Uhr von DadJokes)

Kropki Squares


Rules:
  • Normal sudoku rules apply.
  • Killer Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat.
  • Unique Cells: Digits in the shaded cells must all be different.
  • Kropkis: Grey dots on a corner indicate that in the 2x2 of surrounding cells, there must be two cells whose digits form a 1:2 ratio with each other and the other two cells must contain consecutive digits. See examples below.

Examples:

  • All four digits must be used in a 2x2 to satisfy a grey kropki. In the example below on the left, even though 43 is consecutive, 26 is not in a 2:1 ratio. Additionally, even though 36 is in a 2:1 ratio, 42 is not consecutive. On the other side, 23 is consecutive and 48 are in 2:1 ratio, therefore that kropki square is valid.
  • 1 and 2 can be used as either the consecutive constraint or the 2:1 constraint in a kropki square. In the example below, on the left 36 are 2:1 and 12 are consecutive so the kropki square is valid. On the right, 12 are 2:1 and 34 are consecutive so the kropki square is valid. In the puzzle, it is up to the solver to determine which role 12 needs to fill.

Lösungscode: Row 3 and Row 7 from left to right.

Very nice puzzle! A very clever rule set. I also love the minimalistic look. A lot of intense logic that sets you on a path. It is hard to believe it has a unique solution with so few clues.

Brilliant puzzle!

Well worth the time to wrap my head around the rule set.

Loved the way the squares interacted with each other :-)
