CtC 500k Tribute
(Published on 30. August 2022, 05:56 by apiyo)
This is a tribute to CtC's recent milestone of 500,000 subscribers. Good Grief!
It might look a bit gimmicky, and has a lot of rules, but I was pleased with how it turned out. I like the solve path, which has a tricky deduction or two in each phase of the solve. I didn't want the yellow line to look like a face... but the nose was a necessary compromise! I hope you have fun!
======
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Neighbouring digits along the yellow Dutch Whisper line must differ by at least 4.
Digits along the red line are to be read as four 2-digit numbers running around the triangle. These four numbers add to 100. It's for the solver to deduce the ones digits/tens digits parity.
The letter K between cells means that one of the digits is a factor of the other.
Letters within cells represent different numbers. eg, the two C's are the same digit, while B cannot equal C.
Digits joined by a V or X sum to 5 or 10, respectively.
Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.
Digits on a grey circle are odd.
(There are no negative constraints.)
If you would like to see a solve video for this, feel free to drop me a line on discord and I'll put something together.
Enjoy!
Solution code: Row 7 followed by Column 8 (18 Digits)

Fun puzzle, and I agree with 4 stars.

What a challenge!... WOW!.. Thank you @apiyo for this fantastic tribute, it was very hard for me but I've had lots of fun in solving it!.. Quite tricky, but a fully logical solving path.
// Thanks Chelo! Really glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the feedback. I agree it was hard. Always difficult to assess difficulty for the purpose of this site, given the high standard. But against my own solving ability I would have ranked this 4.
