Ironically Third Time's a Charm

There are Patreon reward solve videos posted early the following month, which are available depending on your Patreon tier

They can (as explained in a previous comment).

Maybe a stupid beginner's question but can digits on arrows repeat if it is possible by sudoku?

Hello! Newbie here! I just wondered if, at the end of the month, the solution is posted. I keep trying the first one, but somehow I'm messing up somewhere. I'm sick right now and can't really think straight, but I would like to know eventually what I'm doing wrong :)

where can i find the thread

Have a look at the puzzle hunt discussion thread, there are some helpful pointers for puzzle 2 :)

Thanks, enjoyed these. A bit of grit to them all without being tortuously difficult.

The CtC app doesn't actually say they're correct, it just says it didn't find a mistake ("looks good to me"). The software can only find out if standard Sudoku rules (9 diff. digits in rows, columns, regions) are met, but if you made a mistake in cages or thermos, it will not notify you.

I solved the 1st one but I'm stuck on the 2nd. I'm sure I'm missing something but I just can't find enough logic to proceed

I finished all three - the CtC app says they're correct, yet I don't have 3 numbers that are the same across the puzzles. Heck, I don't even have one. Any idea how to proceed?

Just finished the third puzzle myself. I kept fighting the urge to use the 'line repeats' logic to eliminate possibilities; and yes, you are correct. Having finally finished, I can confirm that numbers can repeat at any point along the line.

I think they can repeat on the lines at any point if permitted by sudoku rules, as it is not said otherwise (and judging by my final result).

Thank you.

This third puzzle is a new ruleset for me. On these "three-lines," can digits repeat on the line at any point, only at non-adjacent points(ie., no back-to-back of the same number, even if they don't see each other by normal sudoku rules) or can they not repeat at all?

Subtract, as in arithmetic. So if the orange cell in puzzle 1 was a 3, the given digit in that cell in puzzle 2 would be 7 (10 - 3 = 7). At least, I think that's what it means, I haven't got that far!

I'm guessing there's some special technique we're supposed to spot on the 3rd one, because I can't see any logical way to solve this.

Sorry, I don't know what "from 10" and "from 9" mean. English is not my first language. Thanks for answer.

Brilliant puzzles! Thoroughly enjoyed them!
