Herniated !Ring-8
(Published on 5. November 2025, 19:14 by brtmns)
Hi, another puzzle of the ring series, but this time I had harder time estimating the difficulty, hope you'll like it. Any feedback is appreciated.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Blue lines are split into segments by box borders, and each segment of the same line must have the same sum.
A white dot separates two digits that are consecutive.
Digits cannot repeat within a cage, and the digits within a cage must add up to the total given in that cage’s upper-left corner.
A V separates two digits that add to 5.

it's easy if you remember to work the basic SUDOKU. (which can sometimes be hard to remember).
p=ring not relevant

It is !(not) Ring this time.

lol I must be the worst solver alive if this is 1 star difficulty. Nice puzzle though. Also, the previous puzzles had a very obvious p-ring, but I saw no obvious way to make use of it this puzzle. Maybe I missed something obvious.

Very nice puzzle, 19 minutes, so slightly easier than its predecessor.
=============
Must've missed some unintended way.
