Thanks so much for solving my puzzle! I'm so happy you liked it ❤ The entropic trick is one of my favorite ones with this type of sums. I'm honored that this is one of your favorite RSL puzzles! Thanks Brem 😊
7:30 The right vertical band has these features. Call the three-box line sum X, and call the two-box line sum Y, we get 2X + Y = 45. This forces roping, and the three dotted section sums to Y as well. Y must be odd, so that section is 124. 15:40 Same on the left, the three-dot sum (Y) has to be odd, for 2X + Y = 45. That forces the middle cell to be odd, and it can't be 1, 3, or 9. It must be 5 or 7. 25:50 Right after you said, "I'm stuck," the commercial broke in.
Great puzzle and solve! Solved it in 33:10. In fact the 9-long blue sum lines force roping in those columns. This is because, say, in column 2, where do the digits in r123789c2 go in box 4? They can't go into column 2, and there are only three places in column 1, so three of them must go onto the blue line (r456c3). Hence at least one of the blue lines (r123c2 or r789c2) has at least two of its digits on the blue line in box 4. But their sums are the same, so the third digits must also be the same, and this will already force roping on the columns.
That was a nice & fun one, once the math was done is was an easy ride to the finish, done in 11:11 (Btw I never use conflict checker, it's permanently off.)
I needed just a bit of help with the noting of the same sums for the left and right boxes, but after that the rest of the puzzle went smoothly for me, finishing at 20:13 (conflict checker off). Definitely a very wonderful puzzle from bellsita, enjoyed it a lot!
27:00 there is an "easier" way of doing that. look at box 7 or col 3. you need to make 2 triples, each of which sums to 12. where does the 9 go? with 1&2, leaving, 3,4,5. thus there are only TWO configurations, and therefore, the first 3 columns ARE roped. etc.
Well, it's not usual to see Brem applaud some puzzle. I couldn't think of the solution beyond the central box. Muita farinha pra comer, ainda (too much flour to eat, still), like we say around here in brazilian northeast.
I don't understand, why you are "scanning" in this puzzles. It's not a spot the difference puzzle, it's logical puzzle, you should deduct, not scan. If you get a digit in 1 spot, you should check row, column etc, you don't need to scan.

That was another fun puzzle! I loved the moment you saw it in column 3. I was waiting for you to see it.
At 18min was beautiful indeed! I needed your help at this part! Thank you! 😊
what a unique way of establishing roping:
"roping by total", and so restricted as to force "roping by number" (i.e. the "standard" form of roping
Bells did a magic with this puzzle, so beautifully constructed!
Very cool puzzle.
Solve explained it well.
19:10 for me, loved it !!

Wow! Stunning puzzle and solve!
19:42 to solve. Amazing puzzle and quite hard to work out the correct roping.
Super cool

30:22 for me
nice puzzle

where does the 9 go? with 1&2, leaving, 3,4,5.
thus there are only TWO configurations, and therefore, the first 3 columns ARE roped.
etc.
Not my best effort. But I got it done -- with a bit of help from BremSter. Definitely stretched my brain a bit.

I finished the puzzle without conflicts yet it tells me it is wrong?

“Scanning” is synonymous with checking rows/columns/boxes. Also, in most puzzles, one needs to “scan” the grid to consider what to focus on next.
