Thank You For Halving Me!

(Published on 28. February 2025, 20:46 by sujoyku)

This puzzle has been set for a previous Setting Saturday’s prompt asking for Region Sum Lines, Halvers and Clones. The title is a little pun, but also a genuine message because I am very happy to be a part of this awesome community. I like to thank all testers and in particular ChinStrap and Calvinball for their detailed feedback. I wish you joyful solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each, row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Halvers: Place one halver cell in each row, column and 3x3 region. The value of a halver cell is half its digit. No two halver cells may contain identical digits, i.e. each digit from 1 to 9 is in exactly one halver cell.

- Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide the blue and red lines into segments with the same sum. (Different lines may have different sums. The red colour is only meant to emphasize that the line connecting R9C4 and R6C7 is a separate Region Sum Line.)

- Clones: The cages indicate clone cells, i.e. cages with the same letter must contain the same digit.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

It's a beautiful puzzle, I halve no doubt about that. There is sumthing magical in a way how all the clues constantly interact with each other so no clue feels isolated and clonely.
Thank you, sujoyku!

Thank you for your comment, ChinStrap! It really made me smile. As you know, some inspiration came from your puzzle "I'll Halve What She's Halving". So I am very glad you liked it.
Kind regards, sujoyku
