An Odd Combination
(Eingestellt am 22. September 2026, 16:45 Uhr von The Pi Guy)
This puzzle was set for the ‘Secret Impostor’ event, where in week 1 everyone had to set a puzzle that captured their own setting style. So of course, I made the most of it. :P
Enjoy. :)
When The Pi Guy was told to set in his style,
He didn’t quite know what to do,
For being creative was one of his strengths,
Yet he’d rarely released something new.
But then an idea popped into his head,
“I know what I’ll do for this part!
I’ll think of a title and then set the path
Once it’s given me somewhere to start.”
Well, as you can see, he completed his task,
After doing some investigation.
And so I’m delighted to present to you,
The puzzle ‘An Odd Combination’.
Rules
Sudoku: Put the digits 1 to 9 once each into every row, column & 3 by 3 box.
Cages: The digits in each cage can’t repeat and must sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage.
Kropki: Digits with a white dot between them must be consecutive. Digits with a black dot between them must be such that one digit is double the other.
Odd Circles: A digit in a grey circle must be odd.

Awesome puzzle! Loved the logic in box 9. Also, the ending is very tricky, but it's more than fair unless you're me and overcomplicate things lol.
