CASE 3871

Remove and Repeat

Not graded: we can’t read all its rules yet
  • Killer cages
  • Kropki dots
  • XV and number dots
  • Renban lines

The brief

The grid contains the digits 1-6. In each row and column, one digit has been removed, and one digit is repeated. Eg: 352156 - 4 has been removed, and 5 is repeated.

Each digit 1-6 is repeated in exactly one row and one column, and removed in exactly one row and one column. The red and blue side arrows can be used to keep track.

  • Digits joined by an X sum to 10.
  • Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.
  • Digits joined by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
  • Digits in a cage sum to the clue in the corner.
  • Digits on a pink renban form a non-repeating consecutive sequence which can be in any order.
  • Digits an equal distance from the central spot on a lavender zipper line sum to the digit on the central spot.
