This is a hybrid of consecutive pairs sudoku and thermo sudoku. I like to create thermo sudokus where no numbers are given and I also like to create hybrids. So i was more than happy with the outcome when I created this. Posting it in the blog now.
RULES OF CONSECUTIVE PAIRS - THERMO HYBRID : CLASSIC SUDOKU RULES APPLY. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE SOME THERMOMETER SHAPES IN THE GRID. THE NUMBERS ARE IN INCREASING ORDER FROM THE BULB TO THE FLAT END ON EACH THERMOMETER. ADDITIONALLY, IF A WHITE CIRCLE IS GIVEN BETWEEN TWO ADJACENT CELLS, THEN THE NUMBERS IN THOSE CELLS WILL BE CONSECUTIVE. NOT ALL WHITE CIRCLES ARE GIVEN , WHICH MEANS ADJACENT CELLS WITHOUT A CIRLCE MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN CONSECUTIVE DIGITS.

ReplyDeleteI m glad u liked it and u had the enthusiasm to solve it twice :)
DeleteGreat construction.12:06 on this.Had a very narrow start.I would anticipate a high variance in timings depending on how quickly one gets the start.
ReplyDeleteToo good... enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteLoved the sudoku. Didn't time it since I got stuck for >10 minutes in the middle, missed an easy deduction.
