Golden Daggers
(Published on 21. June 2025, 06:52 by antiknight)
Had some ideas that make use of these constraints in a puzzle. Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to leave a comment if you liked it!
Rules:
- Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Arrows: The digits along each arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell.
- Average Arrows: The digit in the golden circle is the exact average of the digits along the golden line. Eg: If R3C6 is 2, then the digits on both branches of the arrow must average to 2.
- Kropki Pairs: A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.
- Index Lines: A teal index line, the digit in the Nth cell along the line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. Eg: 3214 would be a valid line; the 1st digit, 3, indicates that the 3rd cell contains a 1, the 2nd cell a 2, and so on.

Nice puzzle! I found it extremely hard from start to finish, so I probably missed the basic ideas. Thank you
- It can be quite difficult at first. Thanks for your comment^^
