Place 1 – 9 once in each row, column and 3x3 box. The numbers in the circled
cells at one end of the arrows contain the number that is the sum of the cells
along the body of the arrow. For instance if an arrow has a ‘5’ in the circled cell,
then the cells along the body of the arrow must sum to 5. A number can repeat
along the body of an arrow as long as it does not break the usual Sudoku rules.

Complete the grid so that there are an equal number of 0’s and 1’s in each row and
column. The same digit cannot occur in more than two consecutive cells. There cannot
be more than one row the same in each puzzle, or more than one column the same in
each puzzle. So for instance two rows both containing exactly ‘10101010’ are not
permitted, however there could be one row and one column that contain that
combination.

Fill the grid so that the numbers 1 – 6 appear once in each row and column. Sums
appear in the bold-lined shapes; therefore the numbers in these squares must be
such that the sums are valid. Thus if there is a ‘6+’ from two cells, then those cells
might contain ‘4’ and ‘2’ since they sum to 6. With division and subtraction, you
always divide or take away the lower numbers from the highest number in a region.

Fill the grid so that the numbers 1 – 9 appear once in each row, column and
3x3 bold-lined box in the grid. The small grey rectangles between some
cells indicate that those cells contain consecutive values, that is numbers
that are one away from each other. Thus a cell containing a ‘2’ with a grey
bar next to it indicates that the adjacent cell must either contain a 1 or a 3.

The numbers around the edge of the grid tell you how many cells to colour in in the
respective row or column. There must be at least one empty cell between filled
regions. Thus 2, 1 in a row means that there are a set of two consecutive cells to be
shaded in somewhere in the row, followed by a gap of at least one empty cell, followed
by another shaded cell. Once complete an image will be revealed.

Draw bridges between each circled cell so that there are the number of bridges leaving
each island as indicated by the circle inside that island. There cannot be more than two
bridges between any pair of islands. It must be possible to walk from one island to any
other island via the bridges in the finished puzzle, therefore no area of the puzzle can be
isolated from any others. Bridges must be horizontal or vertical only, and cannot cross
each other.

The difference to ordinary sudoku is that the diagonals from the bottom left to the top
right of the grid can also only contain a number once, just like the rows, columns and
3x3s boxes. However, unlike in the standard sudoku regions which all have nine cells,
the diagonals in the isosudoku puzzle have a varying number of cells in them. In fact
there is only one diagonal, the major diagonal from top left to bottom right, that
contains nine cells and therefore to which all the standard logic from sudoku can be
applied to. For the regions with less cells you will need to modify some of your usual
solving rules!

Enter numbers in the grid to complete the sums at the beginning of each
run of cells. Use the numbers from 1 – 9 only. A number cannot repeat
within a run, ie a sum of 4 cannot be made of 2 + 2 but must be 3 + 1 in
some order.
