Hungry Hungry Hippos
(Published on 6. February 2025, 02:51 by Scojo)
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- The four hungry hungry hippos on the edges of the grid are fighting to eat all of the large circles in the grid. If a circle is entirely within the colored territory of a single hippo, that circle will be eaten by that hippo. If a circle is on the border between multiple hippos' territories, which hippo eats that circle must be determined. A number on a hippo shows the sum of all circles that it eats. A digit on a circle indicates how many circles contain that digit.
- Digits separated by a small white dot are consecutive. These dots are too small for the hippos to care about, so they are not eaten. Not all possible dots are shown.

Have strong memories of flipping this game as a kid and marbles flying everywhere. Luckily, kept my cool this time and finished it off. Thanks!
