Polarity Loop
(Eingestellt am 9. März 2025, 21:08 Uhr von brainteaserartisan)
Puzzles in the series:
1. Whispering Loop
2. Parity Loop
3. Polarity Loop
4. Opposite Loop
Enjoy!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the clue in the corner.
- Digits separated by the V must sum to 5.
- Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive, and digits separated by a black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio (one digit is double the other).
- Not all Vs or dots are necessarily given.
- Draw a one-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells that must pass through every cell in every cage without visiting any cage more than once. The loop cannot touch itself orthogonally but may touch itself diagonally.
- The loop acts as a polarity line, meaning adjacent digits must alternate between low (1, 2, 3, 4) and high (6, 7, 8, 9).
Comments are welcome, but please be kind.
Lösungscode: The sum of the high digits on the loop in boxes 1 and 7

I'm not usually very good at loop / path puzzles, but this was a great introduction to the concept. Thank you for creating and sharing!

Incredible puzzle and my first ever loop. Maybe a 1.5* break in, but then it goes quickly from there.

Calculating the solution code was more challenging than the puzzle, but that’s mostly because I’m dumb sometimes

First timer. I guess I'm now in the loop.

I had more trouble with this one than I should have in hindsight. Very well constructed and thank you for the puzzle.
