I'm late to this discussion - only just started on the 600k pack, but It seems to me that there is problem with the first puzzle in the pack (600k by PjotrV and Garford): https://tinyurl.com/3rss46y2 It doesn't seem solvable given the rules as written. What am I missing?

2024-09-24 21:12:49 +0000 UTCI feel like I did the Region Sum Clones one wrong. There's no way you're intended to actually do linear algebra to solve it, right? 😅

2024-08-27 19:48:25 +0000 UTCThanks to all the setters, I thought this was a really good quality set of puzzles. Phistomefel's just stands out most in my mind as the "break-in" was so neat.

2024-06-30 18:14:24 +0000 UTCI think that's puzzle 5 not 4, but yea, there are 2 solutions with the current ruleset. Also a meaningless rule about all Xs summing to 10.

2024-06-24 18:27:44 +0000 UTCI think the puzzle 4 has two solutions. My first one was not accepted as valid, but all the sudoku and constraints are ok. Chat helped a bit, with pointers but I believe a rule update or clarification is needed. Spoiler link with my solutin here https://i.imgur.com/Xn4yw1q.png

2024-06-24 12:30:57 +0000 UTCSeconding this question, as I've made some decent progress in the puzzle, but can't see any way to proceed from where I'm at. The PDF mentions X's, but doesn't specify a negative constraint, and there are no X's in the puzzle, and no mention of them in the Sudokupad version's rules.

2024-06-24 00:20:24 +0000 UTCIs there a missing X (or multiple) in the puzzle by HalfBakedLunatic? Or is there a negative constraint on it?
