Sum in a sudoku with sum total of 15 and 45












1












$begingroup$


I have created a sudoku puzzle with the following restrictions:





  • Each row and column sum to $45$.

  • Each row and column in the nine $3$ by $3$ sub-grids sum to $15$.




Is such a sudoku unique?

    "...where each row and column adds to a total of 45..." is redundant, since it is in the nature of a sudoku puzzle that its rows and columns sum to $45$. This is because each row contains the numbers $1$ through $9$, and $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45$.

    @Kryesec I've assumed that that means that each of the 3 by 3 sub-grids is a magic square with "magic constant" 15. In other words, each row/column in each 3 by 3 sub-grid sums to 15.

No.




Of course, there's rotation and reflection, but even beyond that you can swap any two rows within it's group of three rows (eg swap row 1 and 2 or swap 4 and 6), and you can swap a group of three with one of the other groups of three (eg swap 1,2,3 with 4,5,6), and the same applies to the columns.

    I was beaten to a very similar answer, but you can create such a square based on the magic square below:

    abc
    def
    ghi

    Turn it into this:

    abcdefghi
    defghiabc
    ghiabcdef
    bcaefdhig
    efdhigbca
    higbcaefd
    cabfdeigh
    fdeighcab
    ighcabfde

    Since there are multiple possible magic squares, it's not unique. When you change the number at the very center (i), which you can, you get a different sudoku (not even a rotation or reflection).
