Very nice, I loved the row 5 deductions in the beginning. Indeed not 4 stars anymore because of all the experience with these constraints. Thank you.

Felt more like a 3* by today's standards, but still an awesome construction ! Thanks :)

Excellent puzzle! Been for a while on my waiting list, finally attempted it, and was a very rewarding solve, thanks Jesper!

Brilliant! Really enjoyed this rule combination. Thanks Jesper! :)
EDIT @Vebby: Thank you for the kind words! I must say I am very impressed with the speed with which you are working your way through my back catalogue at the moment :)

@henripijames: the official puzzles and sudokus from World Championships are copyrighted by the World Puzzle Federation. Member-organisations like LMGermany can give limited access to their individual members. So if you are a member of LMGermany you can find the puzzles in the menu under Championships / World Sudoku Championship.
The instruction booklet should be available for anyone interested.

Anyone know where I can find the original German Whisper sudoku from the world championship? The official WC website doesn't have the puzzles (or the solutions), strangely.
