Sudoku Variants Series (007) - Consecutive Circles

(Published on 14. January 2014, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Consecutive Circles
Apply classic sudoku rules. Digits on the grey circles are all different and they form a strictly increasing sequence with differences of 1. The order of any sequence can be clockwise or anticlockwise. It is part of the puzzle to find out the start and end of the sequence.

Solve online in F-Puzzles (thanks Narayana!)

Example:

Puzzle:

Solution code: Row 4, followed by column 6.

Manche Stellen sind aufgrund der Logik besonders fehleranfällig, deswegen sollte man zwei- oder dreimal nachdenken, bevor man einen Ring ausfüllt, sonst sitzt man am Ende da, hat das Rätsel verhauen und weiß selber nicht wieso. Nach 3-4 verhauenen Versuchen ist dieses Rätsel endlich auf meiner gelöst-Liste und das war eine Lernerfahrung Wert, in diesen Sudokus seine eigenen voreiligen logischen Schlüsse nochmal zu hinterfragen und auf mögliche Ausnahmefälle zu untersuchen.

Fun puzzle with an interesting way to start

f-puzzles link (using polygons instead of circles, turn off highlight conflicts as palindrome lines are used to make the shapes): https://f-puzzles.com/?id=y4bmuvf7
