Clashing Chameleons

(Eingestellt am 1. Mai 2025, 18:24 Uhr von the_cogito)

I recently had a conversation with Fool on Hill and The Book Wyrm about the possibility of somehow simplifying IcyFruit's recent puzzle Dueling Dragons, and I decided to start playing around with a similar idea with the goal of breaking it down into something more fundamental. I suppose how much "simpler" this is than its inspiration is up to solvers, but I think I found something cool, and so am publishing it. I hope you like it.

Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Shade the boundary between adjacent digits if and only if they sum to an even number. Shaded boundaries must divide the grid into exactly 2 regions. There may be shaded boundaries that lie within a region without fully dividing it, as allowed by other rules.
- A digit in a cell with one or more arrows indicates the total number of shaded boundaries in the directions of all arrows combined.

Awesome puzzle! Having already solved Dueling Dragons, this felt hilariously approachable.

We need to see more puzzles exploiting these ideas. The symmetry break in this one is exquisite.

Great puzzle, it's a nice variation on the idea :)

Awesome puzzle! Adding this to my favorites. It was a joy discovering the consequences of the ruleset and figuring out how to apply them to solve the puzzle.
