A Daily Diet of Three Puzzles!
388Here's where you can try these excellent puzzles by Bartok_the Magnificent:
Zip: https://sudokupad.app/a15tt4jnj4
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-6 in each row, column, and box. The solver must draw a Parity Line (digits alternate between even and odd) that moves orthogonally and visits every cell in the puzzle including the six bubble digits in order. The line starts at the 1 bubble and ends at the 6 bubble. The Parity Line visits each cell exactly once and does not cross itself. The Parity Line cannot pass through thick black lines. The solver must determine which bubbles contain 2, 3, 4 and 5. Bubble digits must be followed by or preceded by a digit with the same residual modulo (14, 25, 36).
Queens: https://sudokupad.app/f7vz1zvw81
Place the digits 1-6 in each row, column, and region. In each row, column, and region, there is a Queen Cell. Queen Cells may not be touching, even diagonally. All Queen Cells must not be orthogonally adjacent to any digits that form a 2:1 ratio with or are consecutive to the Queen Cell's digit. Digits separated by a black dot form a 2:1 ratio.
Tango: https://sudokupad.app/nuoopvuie9
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-6 in each row, column, and box.Shade some cells (Yellow) such that each row and column within the grid contains three shaded, and three unshaded cells (Blue). There cannot be three consecutive cells that are all shaded or unshaded in a row or column.
Cells separated by a black dot contain digits that form a 2:1 ratio and include one shaded and one unshaded cell. Cells separated by a white dot include consecutive digits that are either both shaded, or both unshaded. Digits in a cage must sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage. Shaded cells count as negative values towards the sum.
