The Slingshot Palindrome
(Published on 6. December 2020, 06:00 by ICHTUES)
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Additionally, a palindrome with different digits e.g. 1763671. 1713171 wouldn't fit, because of the too many 1s.
Each digit of the palindrome is also a slingshot. To find the orientation of the arrow is part of the puzzle, There is a constraint, that you ONLY can slingshot numbers of the palindrome (which are themselves slingshots).
Each digit of the palindrome is also a slingshot. To find the orientation of the arrow is part of the puzzle, There is a constraint, that you ONLY can slingshot numbers of the palindrome (which are themselves slingshots).
Slingshot rules: If an arrow is present in a cell (here in the palindrome), the digit in the cell the arrow comes from appears in the grid in the direction of the arrow at a distance of N cells, where N is the digit in the arrow's cell. Other possible arrows are not given.
The two digits with the white point have a difference of 1.
Solution code: r7 and c8

Very nice!
For future solvers: Clarification of a rule in case of any confusion: Apart from its mirror on the other side of the palindrome, no digit can repeat on the palindrome; so on the length 15 palindrome, there will be 8 unique digits.
