Splitting Pink (Equal Split Lines)
(Published on 7. March 2025, 18:30 by gdc)
This is my second Equal Split Lines puzzle. It is inspired by mathpesto puzzles with lines that simultaneously act as renbans and region sum lines. Thanks to the CtC discord for testing and feedback. Hope you enjoy!
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Renban Lines: On each line, digits don't repeat and form a single consecutive run when sorted.
Equal Split: Dots split lines into segments with equal sums. Sums may be different for different lines.
Example
Solution code: Column 9, top to bottom (9 digits)

I found this much easier than the first ESL puzzle. Both are very nice

Loved this logic. Seems daunting until you get going. Probably a 2.5*

Wonderful setting! I really enjoyed these equal split lines, and definitely hope to see them more in the future :)

No single step was unreasonably difficult, but it weaved together a lot of different kinds of logic that made this a 3* for me. Enjoyed it very much!

Really enjoyed this. Subtle and powerful use of the dual lines here.

I loved the use of the dual line type and its geometric implications. Thank you for setting and sharing, gdc!

Really enjoyable logic that balanced cell-geometry and the math of the segment sums beautifully!
