May Patreon Reward
Added 2022-05-01 15:00:01 +0000 UTC[The first puzzle in this post had a single-digit error in it! Sincere apologies - please use the most recent post for May's Patreon reward]
Hello Patrons!
Thank you so much for supporting us and our channel. This month’s challenge involves
three Equal Sum Line puzzles, but you need to draw the lines! Links to the puzzles in the
CTC software appear in the attached pdf document, as well as instructions about how you have to draw the lines and how the rules work.
It really is Approachable this month, although if you like it spicier, there is a Hard Mode! The Normal Mode instructions appear on the second page of the pdf, so don't look that far if you want to challenge yourself a bit more!
To enter the competition, tell us which of the three puzzles has the highest total in its four corner cells and what that total is, by email to crackingthecryptic@gmail.com, by 4pm BST on 20th May 2022.
Have fun,
Simon & Mark

Done. Thank you!
2022-05-01 16:24:16 +0000 UTCNo, cannot get this to work, either: 9 in box 9 must be in row 8 (otherwise there would be no place for 9 in box 8), so 9 would be the common sum. But I cannot get all threee horizontal rows of three digits each sum to 9 without any clashes.
2022-05-01 16:18:44 +0000 UTCIn hard mode, you can deduce that because of the 9 in box 9, the line must not include BOTH cells in box 9. Only the digit 2 does not include both cells from box 9. Therefore, the puzzle does not start with a digit 5, but with a digit 2.
