Taxi Rank

(Eingestellt am 24. April 2025, 22:23 Uhr von marty_sears)

Happy birthday to my friend Stu, AKA ThePedallingPianist! For the last 10 months or so, Stu has been pumping out this kind of nonsense. For a birthday treat I decided to make my own version of 'Full Rank'...

    Rules:

    Normal sudoku rules apply.

  • The digits along each coloured route can be read as a 6-digit 'route number', starting at the square and finishing at the spot. These nine route numbers can be ranked from lowest to highest. A circled yellow taxi on a route indicates that route's rank. (A '1' taxi would be on the route with the smallest 6-digit route number. None of the route numbers are the same, so there are no tied ranks.)
  • Box borders divide a BLUE ROUTE into segments whose digits have the same sum.
  • Adjacent digits on a GREEN ROUTE have a difference of at least 5.
  • Digits on a PINK ROUTE form a non-repeating, consecutive set, in some order.
  • Please leave a comment if you enjoy :)

    If playing on a mobile, I recommend playing this basic version. It doesn't have the notes section, but will be easier to see.

Lösungscode: The 6-digit route number ranked 7th

Loved it... I was SO stuck on the break in because I had the top green line's start/finish around the wrong way in my mind.

Interesting logic throughout, and a cute presentation to boot - thank you! And you got me interested in Stu's original series - will try those out soon.

Wasn't sure if the "unranked" taxis still had to include their route number somewhere, but perhaps that was a deliberate ambiguity. I won't spoil it here except to say you can reach the solution without relying knowing the answer.

Clues are evenly distributed and initially there are a few places where it looks like it might start, but it still requires bringing together a few different deductions to finally create the pressure to find it.

(Hopefully not revealing too much; the holding back of a couple of rank values maintains the tension for a bit longer)

Very, very, very very clever. A joy to solve. Took me longer than two stars!

A gem like always! Thanks Marty, this was a fun play (although a little small on my phone haha).

Mr Sears is my favourite setter, and this kind of thing is exactly why. Such a well conceived and executed puzzle.

Felt extremely difficult early on, but once I got a foothold it worked out nicely, so I'd put it on the more challenging side of 2 stars

Novel puzzle idea and great execution - what I always expect from a Marty Sears puzzle.

Brand new concept, cute graphics, consistent difficulty throughout, but very approachable. A Marty classic!

Marvellous!
It seemed impossible, but once you finally spot the break-in (genius!) it flows pretty smoothly.
Oh, and happy birthday, dear pianist!

Thanks for another great puzzle! Any chance you can create a phone friendly version? The puzzle is quite small now.

Marty: I don't think so sadly. I feel the notes section is very much needed in this and unfortunately I don't think there's a zoom function in the phone app yet

not a quick solve for me, had to focus on the difficulty so I would stop overthinking the break in.

Brilliant setting! Fun til the very end :)

Happy that you have got me conquering another puzzle type.

Full Rank puzzles with fewer difficulty stars I can't get my head around but somehow your graphics, just 9 ranks and a section for recording has made it achievable for me.

Thanks.
