Cocktail Ring

Title: Cocktail Ring
Rating: 3/5 

This puzzle is so named because of the extra rule (see the end of the list) that adds to the challenge: it's a toral board puzzle (like Prorus, Circuitry, Fundamentals, and Toral Rorschach)


The official rules:

  • The digits 1 through 9 appear in each row and each column exactly once.
  • Digits in each shaded region must add to the indicated sum (denoted by +) or multiply to the indicated product (denoted by *).   
  • Squares with multiple colors contain a number that’s used in the sum/product for adjacent regions of each of those colors.  
  • Remember: numbers can repeat within a shaded region if that repetition doesn't violate the first rule.
  • The board is a “toral board,” that is, cells at the end of one row are considered adjacent to those at the beginning of the same row; cells at the end of one column are considered adjacent to those at the beginning of the same column, and all corner cells are considered adjacent.
