Take the Low Road

(Eingestellt am 23. Januar 2024, 12:14 Uhr von Chilly)

I was setting for Rangsk's excellent adventure series (which you should definitely check out if you have the time) and was experimenting with uses for the fat arrows in Penpa (because, why not?). I came up with what might be a new ruleset. I'd be interested to know if this has been done before. This one's a bit of an experiment and shouldn't be too difficult.

The follow-up puzzle to this one, 'It's all Downhill From Here' can be found here.

The Rules:

    Normal Sudoku rules apply. Some cells contain arrows. A digit in a cell with an arrow must be larger than the digits in all the other cells along the direction of the arrow.

At first glance I did not think this could possibly solve, coudln't imagine how... then I started following the paths... and I'm surprised I solved this.

WOW, I was able to solve a 2 star sudoko. It took me 5 hours and 2 restarts but I solved it.
Now I'll go and watch cracking the cryptics solve and get destroyed :-D Simon said, it's fairly easy, ahahahahah.

I like the ruleset, but it messed with my mind quite a lot during the solve :-) Thanks!!

Well done, and thanks for the solve - you got there in the end :)

Great idea ! I enjoyed this puzzle a lot (after a few first minutes of panic). Thanks for sharing.

I always love new rule sets. Only problem is, now I want more.

Similar to slow thermo rule, but then again totally different

I liked how the big arrows was used to remove possible big numbers in the direction, to disambiguate.

Cute!

Is it naive of me to be surprised that 17 arrows sufficed?

FWIW I've never seen the fat arrow device before.

Thanks for solving! Looks like it's a new ruleset I think.
