RPG - The Enigma Trio
(Published on 24. December 2021, 16:30 by Playmaker6174)
The very first ambiguous puzzle that I've tried to set and probably one of the craziest challenges for me too, this one is also for the holidays speical like my previous
irregular 7x7 pack. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: this can potentially be a 5/5 difficulty puzzle but I put it as a 4-4.5 in terms of how the flow goes.
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Each gray line in the grid has ONLY 1 out of 3 following properties:
+ Renban: Digits along a line form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
+ Parity Confetti: Digits along a line must have the same parity, i.e. they must be all odd digits or all even digits, and they form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in terms of their respective parity in any order. Which parity a line belongs to is to be deduced.
+ German Whisper: adjacent digit along a line must have difference of at least 5 (digits can repeat in such line if allowed by other rules).
The brown lines work the same as other lines, they're also to be deduced, brown colors are just for clearer clarification.

Good luck and have fun solving!

There is some really lovely logic in there, thank you for this! :^) It did not seem too challenging though, but maybe I just happened to look at the right things in the correct order
