This sudoku grid has more squares than you think.
My solve of "Entropic Squares" by Raumplaner, a Riddle Sudoku using the Entropic Lines, Killer and Kropki Pairs constraints.
Solve in SudokuPad: https://tinyurl.com/Entropic-Squares-Riddle
In order to be able to understand one of the rules, you need to solve the riddle included in the killer cage rule.
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages sum to the number of all possible squares formed by the grid of coloured lines (geometry riddle).
- Kropki pairs: Digits conneced by a white dot are consecutive. Digits connected by a black dot have a ratio of 2:1.
- All lines are entropic lines. Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low digit (1-3), a middle digit (4-6) and a high digit (7-9). Different colours are used to distinguish where lines end or intersect.
Bonus questions:
How many squares can be found, if you only use the lines of a regular Sudoku grid with 81 cells?
How many are formed between those and the coloured lines?
