Mystery Line 1
(Published on 26. August 2022, 11:22 by KusaneHexaku)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
(Enter numbers from 1 to 9 into the grid, such that no digits appear twice in any row, column, and boxes)
Figure out what the lines mean, then solve the puzzle.
EDIT 1 : Added an example puzzle as a big hint, which can be viewed here.
Solution code: Row 7, then Row 1, with no spaces.

This basically solves like a riddle sudoku, where you first need to solve a riddle (about 3.5-4/5 difficulty to figure out the ruleset without the hint) then solve the sudoku with it (1/5 difficulty).
So overall i would say it's still a 3.5-4/5 puzzle since in this case you can't really start to use sudoku logic to solve the riddle.

But i recommend to give this one a try if you like riddles! It's a very clever one.

Nice puzzle, very original/inventive ruleset. Really like the challenge, didn't use the hint, but was part of a group solve. I do think this is above a 2 star for difficulty, simply because the ruleset has to be determined by the solver.

Okay, die Kreise sind nun klar.
Aber die Regel für die Linien nicht. Die "bekannten" Linien kann ich nicht zuordnen.
Ich hatte eine Hypothese, und damit habe ich das komplette Sudoku vollständig ausgefüllt. Aber leider war die Lösung nicht richtig... Nun gebe ich auf!

I can confidently say I never would've solved this without the hint, but it was a nice, smooth solve with that extra bit of help. It was fun to work a Sudoku that required some lateral thinking!

das hilft zwar etwas, aber mir bleibt die Regel für die gesamte Linie trotzdem unverständlich

@SKORP17, mir auch.

That had me racking my brain for a while, until I finally asked myself the right question, and then yeah, it was really easy. Pretty clever stuff, kudos!
I should say though that I DEFINITELY needed the little example, otherwise I would have never found it. Even though it's my first 'instructioneless', I think I know about this kind of puzzle that they always come with an example, no?

Very very Mystery ruleset. I don't understand this. :-(

@SKORP17
a) all lines work under the same rule
b) that is also part of the puzzle

bedeuten alle Linien dasselbe und was sollen die Kreise?
