Tesla Coil (German Whispers + Odd/Even)

(Published on 3. November 2021, 19:27 by purpl)

Been using German Whispers a lot lately and usually for these you will use high/low parity, but what if you also had to use odd/even parity? There are a lot of interesting interactions between odd/even and whispers that are largely unexplored. Take this puzzle as a first look and go make more puzzles to explore this combination!

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Neighboring digits on a green (german whispers) line must exhibit a difference of at least 5.

Digits in caged cells sum to the total in the top left hand corner of that killer cage.

Opaque circles contain odd digits.

Opaque squares contain even digits.

Solution code: Row 2 followed by column 5 (right to left, top to bottom, 18 digits, no spaces)

Coloring puzzle? I had to birfurcate slightly to make any meaningful deductions.
It's a shame, because this puzzle was highly rated and I think I missed on some of the beauty of it. I enjoyed it, however.

What a puzzle, congrats @purpl for the brilliant idea and setting. I definitely agree with you, the interactions between German whispers and odd/even parity are beautiful and definitely worth exploring :-)
