X-triplets, halvers edition
(Published on 7. June 2025, 09:32 by Adrian71)
- Normal Sudoku rules apply
- Halvers: One cell in every row, column, and box is a halver. The value of a halver is half the digit it contains. Each halver contains a different digit. The value of a non-halver is its digit.
- X-triplets are formed by 3 digits on a straight line whose values sum to 10. Digits and values may repeat on an X triplet, if allowed by Sudoku
- The grey lines form X-triplets
- All X-triplets are given
Solution code: The digits of row 2

Beautiful puzzle. I suspect I may have finished a bit faster if I had remembered the negative constraint. Only came to it when I ended up in a deadly pattern. But even so, 4* difficulty I would think.

Thank you for solving and commenting! Indeed the negative constraint is not as prominently present as in my recent X-triplets puzzle, though it can help on a few occasions to make some deductions easier
