Slices of Tentropy (with Matt Tressel)
(Published on 27. March 2025, 23:01 by sujoyku)
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
Each line in the grid is both a Tentropy and an Equal Split Line.
- Tentropy Lines: Every set of 4 adjacent digits (those might cross dots) on a hollow peach line must contain a digit from each of the X-pair (ten-pair) subsets of {1,9}, {2,8}, {3,7}, and {4,6}. A 5 may not appear on a tentropy line. Digits on a line may repeat if allowed by other rules.
- Equal Split Lines: Dots split peach lines into segments with equal sums. Digits may repeat on lines but not within a segment. Different lines may have different sums. For example, a valid Equal Split Line could read 1234-127.
Here you can solve the puzzle online:
Solution code: Column 9 from top to bottom (9 digits in total)

Mir ging es genauso wie Snookerfan! (Meine Dummheit.) Die Kombination der beiden Linien-Typen funktioniert hervorragend - insbesondere bei so einem perfekten Setting! Vielen Dank für das tolle Puzzle.

Very nice! If only I hadn't forgotten that digits on an equal split line can not repeat within a segment, I could have saved a lot of time. When I finally remembered that, the solve became ultra smooth. Thank you

You are much welcome, Snookerfan, thank you for your comment! We are glad that you had a smooth solve. The "no repeats inside segments" definitely is important. I hope it did not give you too much trouble at first.
Kind regards, sujoyku
