Sudoku Variants Series (145) - First even-odd Sudoku

(Published on 6. September 2016, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every Tuesday. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

First even-odd Sudoku
Place the digits from 1 to 9 in every row, column and 3x3-block. Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the first placed even digit + the first placed odd digit in the corresponding row/column.

Inspiration for this variant comes from Sudoku Cup #8

Solve online in F-Puzzles (thx bbutrosghali!)

Solution code: Row 5, followed by column 6.

Lange dachte ich, die erste Ziffer der Summe müsste die gerade Ziffer sein... aber es kann halt auch die ungerade sein... :grins:

I received some comments to this puzzle stating it needs heavy T&E to be solved. I tend to avoid T&E in all my puzzles, so also this one is solvable without heavy T&E, although one educated guess is necessary to proceed. I solved the puzzle myself this morning, and have to admit the guessing step is earlier in the process than I had in mind, but still...

Don't give up! If you solved it, you can read how the first 1/3 of the puzzle can be solved by pure logic, and that should be already interesting for learning purposes.
