Carefully Balanced Weights and Measures

(Published on 8. July 2025, 18:54 by HalfBakedLunatic)

Region Sum Lines have equal "weights" within each box, while Palindromes have equal "Measures" from each end. Put them together with a slight offset, and it's like a pendulum with multiple fulcrum points that counterbalance each other and move in a non-predictable fashion.

The Rules:
• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• Box borders divide the blue Region Sum Lines into segments with the same sum
• Gold Palindrome lines must read the same forwards or backwards

Abit hard at first to see how the lines interract but when you got used to that it was a really nice puzzle. I liked it a lot!

The interaction between the two types of lines is very fun indeed. Very difficult but lots of fun, once I wrapped my head around it.

I don't like sudoku with a lot of lines. But it was fun. I think it's 3 stars of difficulty

I liked it very much!
