How to Dot Your V's
(Eingestellt am 4. April 2025, 19:58 Uhr von PhoenixAki)
Solution videos to my puzzles are posted on my YouTube channel. Try to solve without referring to it first :) I include this here as an option to increase accessibility to my puzzles. Happy solving!
Rules:
- Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Dynamic Fog: The grid is mostly covered in grey fog. Placing correct digits will progressively clear away the fog, at minimum under that cell, and sometimes in other parts of the grid.
- Black Dots: A black dot between 2 digits means one digit is either half or double the other digit.
- XV: Digits separated by a V must sum to 5, and digits separated by an X must sum to 10.
- Cages: Cells surrounded in dotted-line "cages" must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a grddin line must differ by at least 5.
- Renban: Adjacent digits on a pink line must form a consecutive sequence in any order. **In this puzzle, neither German whisper or Renban lines leave the box they are discovered in.**
- Quadruples: Digits contained in a large white circle must appear in the four cells it touches.
Lösungscode: Row 2's digits from left to right (9 digits)

Excellent solution! I felt like a brain box working out the break-in. You soothe my ego

Overall nice with two quibbles
1) the quadruple clues in most puzzles show the digits in ascending order, so it is a bit off to see them not sorted. 2) most of the time the dynamic fog at least reveals the digit placed so the few times it doesn’t it made me nervous.
-----------------------------------------
PhoenixAki: Where did the fog not reveal upon placing a digit? It is set to by default reveal fog from cells with correct digits placed if it's not already cleared which I just verified with a quick test re-solving of it.

Ooooh, I REALLY liked this one. Very smooth solve, with a relatively long pause before I figured out the Renban, then it was a sprint finish. Thank you for sharing! A+

minor addition to rules to counter an accidental "one step was tougher than it was intended to be" issue. Grid solution and clues are maintained so that solution code is still valid, with the new rule addition (regarding lines not leaving their box) forcing the intended approach to one step in the solve.

Very nice puzzle! And I learned something new about dots and V's!

I really liked this puzzle. It was fun solving it. That renban tripped me up a little bit. After a bit of thinking, it resolved itself. Thank you for the puzzle!
