[3rd anniversary of Entropy] EnTRIOpy
(Published on 3. December 2024, 05:28 by Mad-Tyas)
For this anniversary I created something special.
Rules:
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and marked 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
EnTRIOpy: Each row, column and marked 3x3 box contains exactly three Normals (value = digit), three Doublers (value = digit * 2) and three Triplers (value = digit * 3). Each 2x2 box in the grid has to contain a Normal, a Doubler and a Tripler.
Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide blue lines into segments of the same sum. This sum may be different for different lines.
Have fun solving!
Sudoku on:
SudokuPad
Solution code: The values of the four corner cells clockwise starting with the top-left corner

I love entropy puzzles and wanted to solve a difficult one as my 1,000th LMD solve. I’m glad I chose this one as it was a pleasure to work through. While it was very challenging, the logic leading to the solve path was always enjoyable from start to finish.

Wow. I got quite stuck initially, but i came back to it with a fresh set of eyes, and my gosh is this a beauty. This is quite a tough puzzle, I'd agree with anything above 4*, but this entriopy innovation (and the setting) is genius!!

The idea is interesting. But it's too difficult for me. I spent half a day to solve it. I think it's 4 stars. Thanks for the challenge haha
