On the Subject of Not Showing Your Work to Sudoku

WE ARE STAYING ABOVE WATER WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥

If you have this module selected, you can safely deselect when either there’s no text on top of Sudoku’s head or the last symbol is *.

Getting module information

N is equal to ((((C0*25+C1)*66+P0+P1)*9+D0)*8+D1) modulo 465920. The variables will be determined by the following subsections using the digits on Sudoku’s face.

C0 and C1

Get your numbers corresponding to the colors of the digits. C0 corresponds to the color of the first digit in reading order and C1 the color of the other digit.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

P0 and P1

Use the digit positions in the tables to get your values. Get P0 from the first digit in reading order and P1 from the other digit.

45495254
55-
P1
-0
1234
5678
910

D0 and D1

Get the values of both digits, subtracting 1 from each. D0 corresponds to the first digit in reading order, D1 the other digit. If D1 is bigger than D0, subtract 1 from D1 once again.

Gathering puzzle clues

Create P and Q, where P is N/256 rounded down, and Q is N modulo 256.

In order to find the positions of the clues, do the following for each table in reading order:

  1. Find the first cell in reading order whose value is greater than P.
  2. Mark this cell as a clue position.
  3. Subtract the previous cell’s value from P (If the first cell is a clue, then don’t subtract).
  4. Add the value of the cell in the current position of the next table to P.

To find the values of the clues, convert Q to base-4. These are values of the clues in reading order.

Solving the module

Solve the created 4x4 sudoku puzzle with digits 0-3, then take the 4 values in the center 2x2 square. Split them to two pairs and convert them from base-4 to base-10 to get two numbers between 0 and 15. Submit them in this manner:

  • First number: select the module, when (total time in seconds) modulo 16 is your number.
  • Second number: deselect the module, when your number is shown.
