Same difference between

(Published on 24. June 2021, 08:33 by bigger)

Standard sudoku rules applies. Fill the grid with numbers from 1 to 9 so each digit occurs exactly once in every row, column and 3x3 box.

The difference between two digits along the line is the same difference the end circles of the line has.


These puzzles are made by Old Miles from China. I don’t know how to call this same difference on the line variant. In Chinese, it’s just two characters, same difference. But the English version is arithmetic progression, way too long for my taste. I thought this was supposed to be a standard variant. Maybe I took it for granted for too long. The question is, is there any other variant like this, only by being translated can I notice it’s rarity.

Good news, I ‘m going to run out of this year stock puzzle, only one left, another one is waiting for the seventh puzzle(supposed somebody can guess whose puzzle I’m going to rip off). I hope I can clean up the 2017 stock as fast as possible.

Oh, in case anybody, maybe future me, might break it. Here’s a hint:

Leave bottom right last.

Solution code: Row 9 and column 9(18 digits)

Tolles Rätsel! Und mit der Übung aus Richards SVS 348 (8D4) gar nicht so schwer.
By exercising with Richard's SVS 348 I could even solve this one :-).

To clarify the line rule: digits in consecutive cells along a line must differ by the same amount as the connected circles differ from each other. i.e. (4)3575(6)
