Tomorrow is my birthday, so I made a birthday cake version of my restriction:

Juggler's Birthday
Tomorrow (the 13th) is my Birthday, so I wanted to make a cake themed Juggle Sudoku.

Normal Sudoku rules apply

On each line, the circle is the average of the cells along the line. Also, when the cells read in order c(1)c(2)...c(n), then c(i) + i=c(j) + j modulus n, if and only if i = j. c(1) is represented by the circled digit and i increases as you go further down the line. (In this way c(1)+1, c(2)+2, ... c(n)+n must all have unique remainders when divided by n).

Would like to know if everything came out smoothly with the longer lines, and if you feel the line in R1C456 is needed. It was only added for ease, but could only find a lengthy bifurcation without it

I hate the links to fpuzzles. Some odd reason it copied the solved one for me.

Happy Birthday!

It will probably be a couple of days before I try it, but I'm looking forward to it.

Madly Off In All Directions

I haven’t made a real sudoku in a while. I've been doing some vanity puzzles for people I work with, so pretty easy and mostly decorative (secretly hoping to get them into variants as well as classic).

I like this one, but I really need to know how people break in. I set it a certain way, but I don’t know if that is the only logical path into the solve.

Standard sudoku rules apply.
Digits in cages sum to the number in the top left of the cage.
Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the circle.

I gave it a go and cant see the break in. Spent a fair amount of time..

Hint

Finished it, took me way too long. Some spots where I didn't even want to venture to, even though I had to venture to them.

Lmk if you ever touched my puzzle at the top of the page.

Oops. Sorry, Onuzq, I did your puzzle, but it took me three tries. I kept going wrong on the top long line. I'm still a big fan of the juggling line. I should have let you know sooner, but stuff took me away from online life and serious sudoku for a while.

Interesting top line was giving problems. I thought it was forced for break in

Indeed it was, yet I messed it up twice. The first time it left me finding some really cool deductions on the left that produced what looked like very cleverly designed deductions on the lower line. So I was sure I was on the right track. Until I had a repeated digit in a box.

It was a very good puzzle, despite my best attempts to show otherwise.

Visual hint might help:

This might be a better help if you're still stuck:

Nod to Sumanta Mukherjee

This puzzle blatantly steals Sumanta Mukherjee’s ideas behind Code 62: Hi Five. I watched Simon's solve and thought the concept was brilliant, so I wanted to see if I could come up with something along those lines. Hopefully, I have introduced enough to change things sufficiently. If you solved that puzzle, or watched Simon’s solve, then you will have a good head start on this one.

This is meant as a learning experience for me, and is not intended to be something new or original.

Standard sudoku rules apply.

Digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb end to the tip.

A clue outside the grid gives the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal.

Digits connected by an X must sum to 10, not all Xs are given.

Done and sent.. Was fun...

On each line, the circle is the average of the cells along the line. Also, when the cells starting at the circle (including the circle) being read in order c(1)c(2)...c(n), each case of c(i)+i must have a unique remainder mod n along that line.

An easier one than usual. Wanted to try out the idea of making a circle pattern. Phistomfel isn't needed.

Turnabout Is Fair Play


First puzzle without a name in it in quite a while. Please let me know what you thought about it, especially the difficulty.

Standard sudoku rules apply.

Clues outside the grid show the totals of the digits along the indicated diagonals.

Digits along an arrow must sum to the value in the circle.

The purple lines are Renban lines and contain sets of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.

Whispering Mark and Simon

I’ve been making a lot of personalized sudokus lately, especially using German Whispers, and I thought I would try putting Mark and Simon into one. This is the result. Please let me know how you found it. I think it may be quite difficult in places, but (hopefully) the logic is clever enough to be worth it. I estimate it as 4/5.


Standard sudoku rules apply.
Green lines are Whispers lines: digits in adjacent cells connected by a green line must differ by at least 5.
The clue outside the grid is the sum of all the digits on the indicated diagonal.

Has anyone had a shout-out on the channel?

I don't believe so, unless one of the POGGERS submitted solutions for the monthly puzzles on Patreon. Pretty sure no one has been cited for submitting a puzzle.

Peeked at it when you posted it. Lost all progress when i took a break as I was using mobile (god f-puzzles sucks there).

Might retry it again.

In the meantime, I made a puzzle for the discord's monthly puzzle prompt.

Note: Lines that intersect go straight across each other.

Let's say I messed up early when setting it, and had to go back pretty far. So I sorta set this puzzle twice.

Can't believe those guys have done 2 videos a day without fail for over 2 1/2 years now and no signs of stopping, nearing 500k subs

Big step for me: I just published a sudoku on Logic-Masters Germany (LMD). It is called Zen-Ten, and it is an Anti-palindrome sudoku. I would say it is medium difficulty but tricky, especially if you aren't familiar with the Anti-palindrome constraint, and aren't used to colouring to solve puzzles.

Here is the link (I hope)

This is big for me also because if it gets enough (positive) attention, zetamath said he would try it. If he likes it, it could really push me. Even constructive criticism from a setter/solver of his calibre would be huge.

If anyone wants to try it, I would appreciate it if you used the LMD page to submit your solve, as well as any comments. And please rate it for difficulty and enjoyment.

Thank you.

Good luck! If Zetamath likes it he may suggest it to Simon/Mark to do on the channel as well, never know!
