You got your 159 in my 159 (Lockout Lines)
(Published on 3. October 2021, 00:51 by riffclown)
Based the Classic and Recent Reese's Cup commercials.
This puzzle is a mashup between the power of 159 in Lockout Lines and the 159 Column Constraint.
Like the Candy, These puzzles come in Pairs. Watch for the second puzzle (Crunchy 159) soon.
Normal Sudoku, Lockout Lines and some 159 Rules apply.
159 Rules apply to shaded Red Cells ONLY. Each digit in column 1 indicates the position of 1 in the same row (that is, if R5C1 is a 6, R5C6 is a 1). The same is true of columns 5 and 9, regarding the digits 5 and 9, respectively.
Cells with grey shaded squares are Even.
Red Shaded Squares signify digits in columns 1,5,9 that would be correct under 159 rules.
All such digits on those columns are marked. eg. If a 5 is in column 2 and the cell in that row in column 5 is not red. then that cell CAN'T be a 2.
Lockout Lines - Digits in directly connected Diamonds must differ by 4 or more and may not be repeated on the line. Digits on a line must fall 'outside' the range defined by their diamonds. Line digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
Solution code: Col 6 followed by col 9 Top to bottom. 18 digits no spaces

Sehr tolles Puzzle! Wie alle deine Puzzle, finde ich. :)
Eine Anmerkung: du hast keinen Punkt gemacht bei "..then that cell CANT be a 2. ... " Dadurch wird der Satz in der deutschen Übersetzung falsch, denn das Wort "Lockoutlines" rutscht mit in den Satz mit der 2.

Very nice! I missed the even clues which got me stuck for a while but after that the solve was smooth. Thank you!

The negative 159 constraint was really interesting! Would be neat to see it in other puzzles!
