Mean Samurai

(Eingestellt am 9. Januar 2023, 17:11 Uhr von JayForty)

Inspired by the efforts of MavericksJD to set a mean mini samurai during a speed setting competition. Great fun to set so I hope you find it enjoyable too!

Each of the coloured areas and the center 4x4 is a 4x4 sudoku grid using four of the digits 1-9. Different areas may use different digits.

Normal German Whispers, Renban, Arrow, Kropki and XV rules apply (no negative restrictions).

  • Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
  • A pink line contains a set of consecutive numbers, in any order. (In green, there are two separate lines that cross)
  • Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the arrow's circle.
  • Cells separated by a black dot contain digits in a 1:2 ratio.
  • Cells separated by an X contain digits that sum to 10.

Usually I'm content to just watch the CTC features like I would a series where I don't know what's coming, but after playing mathpesto's excellent Samurai Sandwiches puzzle, that one was just waaay too tempting, and I'm glad I did! :D And it's crazy to think you set this during a speed setting competition!

Amazing construction, getting a single solution from 4 non-unique minis. Some very nice logic. Thanks.

Very enjoyable puzzle! Honestly not even that hard even if the ending requires some thinking

Well this is certainly more difficult than mine, but I still think it's not overly hard. A very nice construction. Congratulations on the CTC feature!

Havent done minis before. I see a length of 9 cells in a few places. Does that guarantee a unique set of 9 digits, or do squares simply not see eachother?

- Hi! The five 4x4 grids can be viewed as separate puzzles that only interact through the 8 cells that they share where the grids overlap. Hope that answers your question and good luck!
