Between lines have tempted me again.
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Between lines: Digits on a line connecting two circles must be between the digits in those circles. (I.e. the digit in one circle is greater than all digits on the line, while the digit in the other circle is smaller than all digits on the line.)
You can play this puzzle online using sudokulab: https://sudokulab.net/?pzl=_3qh6uwj.
Enjoy!
Solution code: Rows 1 and 2. I.e. the 9 digits in row 1 from left to right, followed by the 9 digits in row 2 from left to right, for example: 123456789123456789

Superb puzzle with a very beautiful visual design! It was a pleasure to unravel every logical step.
As a very late response to the comment of Kafkapharnaum: I know from my own (multiple) experiences that there are some solvers in the portal that give a (very) low rating in case they don't find the logic that is put carefully put in the puzzle by the author. If some of those colleague players are among the first group of solvers, it is possible to have an initial rating that is so ridiculously low as you mentioned. Fortunately the rating is a lot higher now, but still on the low side in my opinion.

Surprisingly delicate setting, there're some pretty tight logics in the puzzle and somehow it feels so satisfying once putting the digits. Beautiful as always :)

Beautifully constructed puzzle! zetamath and I solved this together and had a great time. No idea why it would be rated so low.

I agree with Kafkapharnaum, that was a great little puzzle, not sure why it's rated so low. Thanks Qodec.

People here are harsh! 83%? That was the first 'between lines' puzzle I solved here and I really enjoyed it, the path was clear thanks to the givens, plus the design just looks gorgeous and intricate, so that's definitely a very nice from me. (Also my first 'Qodec' here other than watching CTC, so I'm also happy about that :D)
