The Ballad of the Puppets
(Published on 10. September 2021, 23:17 by fuxia)
Set to the trilogy Ballad of the Puppets by Nishida Kazue Shachu from the soundtrack to Ghost in the shell: Innocence.
Listening to the music is a required part of the solve.
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Black dots indicate a ratio of 1:2, white dots a difference of 1. Not all possible dots are given.
- On red lines neither digits nor differences between neighbors can repeat. So
465273918would be a valid line, because the digits and the differences (21354687) are unique. - Clues outside are the sums of digits on red lines in that row or column.
- Have fun!

Wow, wunderschön! Das hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht. Ein super originelles, sehr kreatives Ruleset und ein interessanter Lösungsweg. Auch die musikalische "Verordnung" ist absolut erstaunlich und sehr besonders. Solche Musik hab ich noch nie gehört.
Vielen Dank für alles :-))
Fuxia: Danke für die lieben Worte. :)

Does that triangle count as three lines that happen to share a cell, or one line that branches?
Fuxia: That's just one line.
