Tandem (& scooters) [Extended XV - virtual sudoku]
(Published on 25. October 2021, 13:30 by SimplePurpleFrog)
Inspired by countless hours of trying to keep up with Cracking the Cryptic and the clarity of Clover's setting masterclass, here is my fourth shot at setting.
This hand-crafted puzzle does not need bifurcation, long chains, nor does it require full pencil marks.
My goal: something fun and novel.
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Diamonds: the two digits either side of a diamond sum to 5, 10 or 15. Not all diamonds are given.
- German whispers lines: adjacent digits on the red lines must be 5 apart or more.
- Cages: digits must sum to the number in the top left corner, digits May repeat.
Please let me know how you get on.
Play it on F-Puzzles (note: the Diamond constraint does not work in the solver or conflicts checks, I'm afraid you have to do this yourself).
Additional tags: Cages, German whispers.
Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn mir jemand eine Übersetzung meines Rãtsel ins Deutsche zur Verfügung stellen würde.
Solution code: All digits of row 7 and column 7

Very interesting setup and constraints! I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I took way too long to see the most important step. Highly recommended!
