Dutch Flat Mates: Periodic Sums (with sujoyku)
(Eingestellt am 12. November 2025, 09:00 Uhr von Sotehr)
PUZZLE
Play [Dutch Flat Mates: Periodic Sums] on SudokuPad.
RULES
Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply; place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Dutch Flat Mates: Every 5 in the grid must have a 1 directly above it, or a 9 directly below it. It may have both, but it isn't necessary.
Periodic Sums: A clue outside the grid indicates the sum of the first cell seen in its row or column and every Nth cell after, where N is the digit in the first cell. For example if r7c1 is a 3, then the digits in r7c1, r7c4, and r7c7 must sum to 18.
NOTES
Expected Difficulty: 3 stars

Very nice! Periodic sums are new to me, so I made probably every mistake possible by not thinking them through properly at first. After I put my thinking hat on, it was an entertaining and approachable solve. Thank you
