Goliaths Käfige (Goliath's Killer Cages)
(Published on 24. May 2020, 07:51 by glum_hippo)
Normal killer sudoku rules apply. The small number in a cage indicates the sum of the digits contained therein. Within a cage no digit may repeat.
The cells in row 8, column 1 and 2 along with row 9, column 1 to 3 form a 'Renban' group, meaning that they contain 5 consecutive digits, e.g., 1-2-3-4-5, in an indeterminate order. They have a pale green stripe.
The cells in column 1, rows 2 to 5 form an 'Anti-Renban' group, meaning it must contain a set of distinct digits, no two of which are consecutive; e.g., 1-3-7-9 or 1-4-6-9. They have a pink stripe.

Solution code: Row 4, then column 3, each in reading order (18 digits without spaces or commas).

@Madmahogany: Not only the adjacent cells, the whole set has no consecutive digits..

When you say that the pale purple group is Anti-Renban, does this mean they do not contain consecutive digits adjacent, or the whole set has no consecutive digits?

I loved this puzzle! I definitely had fun solving the puzzle, I loved the logic path. I will admit that I didn't need to use the inequality sign, but good puzzle regardless. Keep up the good work! :)
