Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Given two cells which both contain the digit N, the Euclidean distance between (the centres of) those cells must be at least √N times the sidelength of a single cell. In other words, if moving from one such cell to the other takes X horizontal steps and Y vertical steps, then √(X^2 + Y^2) ≥ √N.

Thanks! I agree, it has a distinctly miracle-y feel to it.
2021-10-17 09:33:25 +0000 UTCI like the way that the euclidean works as it's essentially a mix of normal, king, king + knight and double king puzzles depending on which number it is. However, the break-in seems completely impossible to me, so I'm gonna enjoy seeing how Simon works it out.

2021-10-16 23:15:29 +0000 UTCWow I loved that one. Very cool. I thought it was impossible at first, but sure enough it solves. Not sure if the rule set is too different to add to the miracle sudoku app, but if Botaku was okay with it I think it would fit nicely with the other miracle sudoku puzzles.
