Stupid Cupid: Finding One's Place

(Published on 8. June 2026, 00:08 by AaronH)

Stupid Cupid, he tripped and fell
“If I were you,” roared William Tell,
“I’d have no son - instead
   of the apple, I’d have hit his head!”

Stupid Cupid, quiver on the floor
Robin Hood laughed "They'd still be poor,
I'd've been caught - instead
   of a hero, I’d’ve hung till dead!"

Stupid Cupid, he wiped a tear
Deep down he quietly feared
"Among these friends...
   ...I am not respected"

Solve in SudokuPad

Cupid is nervous about his first day of archery training. He’s numbered all his arrows in preparation, but he's gotten a bit flustered. Cupid is sure that once he finds his number one arrow, the rest should follow. Can you help him find it - and find his place on his first day?

Rules

Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply: fill the grid with digits 1-6 so that no digit repeats in any row, column, or box.

  • Cupid’s Arrows: There are 6 arrows in this puzzle. The digits along an arrow must sum to the number in its heart, and each arrow has a different total. Digits may repeat along arrows if allowed by standard sudoku rules.

haven't read that the arrows cannot not be of the same sum.. so I stared at it for way too long before I reread the rules... after that it's been smooth sailing.

Hmm. If this is 1* I clearly missed an easy path to the solution…

Just watched the video. Yeah, I missed some obvious impossibilities on the right single arrow and ran the whole thing trial and error. D’oh.

AaronH: Nice work getting through it. I’ve got a walkthrough linked on the page showing how I approached it if that’s useful
