Clue Quartet

(Eingestellt am 9. Januar 2026, 05:09 Uhr von Kutsumi Hane)

This puzzle consists of four puzzles sharing the same grid layout. They appear visually identical; however, the outside clues have different meanings in each puzzle. The rules for these four puzzles are as follows:

Common Rules:

Normal Sudoku rules apply, requiring that each row, column, and 3×3 box contains the digits 1-9 exactly once. Additionally:
    ·Odd/Even Lines:
    Digits along red lines alternate between odd and even.
    ·Inequality:
    Inequality signs between two cells point toward the smaller digit.
    ·Shared Cells:
    Shaded cells must contain the same digit in all four puzzles. All shared cells are given.

Variant-Specific Rules:

Each quadrant uses a different outside-clue rule:
    ·Skyscrapers (top-left):
    A clue X outside the grid indicates the number of buildings visible from that side in that direction.
    Taller buildings block the view of shorter ones behind them.
    ·Sandwich (top-right):
    A clue X outside the grid indicates that the digits between 1 and 9 in that direction sum to X.
    ·X-Triplet Average (bottom-left):
    A clue X outside the grid indicates that the (X−1)-th cell, the X-th cell, and the (X+1)-th cell in that direction have an average of X.
    ·Numbered Room (bottom-right):
    A clue X outside the grid indicates that X appears in the N-th cell in that direction, where N is the digit in the cell immediately adjacent to the clue.

      The difficulty is estimated at 4–5 stars. Enjoy solving!

      Lösungscode: R1C4–R1C6 of the four puzzles, written as xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx in the order Skyscrapers, Sandwich, X-Triplet Average, and Numbered Room.

      The Solution Code has been simplified and revised for clarity. This change does not affect the puzzle itself.

      Beautiful interaction between the puzzles but that solution code is annoying

      Response from Kutsumi Hane:
      Thanks a lot! I'm happy you liked the interaction between the puzzles.
      You're absolutely right about the solution code — I found it a bit awkward myself, and I'll update it right away.

      The SudokuPad link for the combined puzzle has been updated for visual consistency. The puzzle itself is unchanged.
