XY Differences IV
(Published on 30. November 2020, 22:19 by glum_hippo)
I've once again taken up the "XY Differences" idea. The first three XY-differences puzzles appeared in this portal, then I created another two that are not yet published. Thanks to Qodec and Shogia for testing!
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
If there's a diamond between two horizontally adjacent cells, then the absolute value of their difference is the same as the leftmost digit in that row.
If there's a diamond between two vertically adjacent cells, then the absolute value of their difference is the same as the topmost digit in that column. See example.
Take note! A negative constraint does apply. If no symbol is given, then the difference does not correspond to the first cell.
| Example | Solution |
And here is the puzzle (also available on F-puzzles)
Solution code: Row 2, then column 9 (18 digits total)

Thanks for this lovely puzzle! As Willy Wonka said, very clear solution path, and it unfolds very nicely after a couple of important deductions.
