Sling With A Difference
(Published on 31. August 2025, 16:41 by ThePedallingPianist)
This is my response to Scojo's setting prompt this week as redeemed by mnasti2, which was Slingshots. Obviously, being me, I couldn't use completely normal Slingshot rules! Many thanks to Sotehr, MattYDdraig and Lake for testing.
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
A question mark has a value equal to the difference between the digits either side of it. An arrow shows that the value of the attached question mark must appear as a digit in the cell N steps away from the arrow in the direction of that arrow, where N is the digit in the arrow's cell.
For example, if r4c6 is a 3 and r5c6 is a 1, then a 2 (the difference between 3 and 1) must be placed in r4c3 (3 steps away in the direction of the arrow.
