DSM Qualitraining 2022: XY-Differences
(Published on 22. January 2022, 16:28 by glum_hippo)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
If there's a diamond between two horizontally adjacent cells, then the absolute value of their difference is the same as the first digit in that row.
If there's a diamond between two vertically adjacent cells, then the absolute value of their difference is the same as the first digit in that column. See example.
Take note! If no symbol is given, then the difference does not correspond to the first cell.
| Example | Solution |
And here is the puzzle (also available on f-puzzles):
Other puzzles in this vein:
- XY differences I
- XY differences II
- XY differences III
- XY differences IV
- XY differences V, "Knapp daneben"
- XY differences VI, "Delimited Edition"
- Richard Stolk's 'Difference Pointers' which features the same rule set.
Solution code: Row 6, then column 7 (18 digits total).

I liked the absolute value constraint. Once I figured out some functions of the constraint it was quite approachable. Great puzzle.
