Bounds of Luck (Whisper MinMax)

(Published on 21. September 2022, 03:46 by tallcat)

Continuing an interest with almost symmetrical puzzles. I have not solved many puzzles with MinMax, so it wasn't too high on my list of variants to play with, but combining with whispers yielded some fun interactions. Shout out to Tyrgannus for the puzzle title. Happy solving!

Normal Sudoku rules apply

German Whispers: Adjacent cells on green lines must differ by at least 5. Digits may repeat on lines if allowed by other rules.

Min/Max: Cells with arrows facing inward must contain numbers less than all orthogonal cells. Cells with arrows facing outward must contain numbers greater than all orthogonal cells.



Can be played online at f-puzzles or CTC

Solution code: Column 4 (Top to bottom) followed by column 6 (top to bottom). 18 digits, no spaces.

Very well orchestrated, especially given that I often dislike fortress
