Pick-up Sticks (Blue)
(Eingestellt am 15. Juni 2025, 10:58 Uhr von marty_sears)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
3x3 box borders divide a blue stick into segments. Each segment along a stick has the same sum. This segment sum can be different for different sticks.
A stick always has a lower total (the sum of ALL its digits) than any stick which lies on top of it.
Lösungscode: Column 9 reading downwards

Fun puzzle, not too tricky and flowed well with some neat steps.
Neat aesthetics as well with the almost-symmetry.

I like the region sums and zippers because it makes the math easier. Great puzzle as always!!

Whew! I got stuck in the midgame for ages, but eventually found a way out.
For me, this was definitely the trickiest Mikadoku yet... Very nice though, as always.

Brilliant setting, again. In mid-solve, I found this puzzle quite challenging. Thanks Marty. I‘m looking forward to see green sticks and red sticks.

After the solve, I said to myself why was that so fun? then I looked at the setter's name. of course...
