Nightfall (German Whisper combo)
(Published on 22. October 2022, 22:29 by Playmaker6174)
The following puzzle utilizes a small idea from the combo between German Whisper line and some other interesting variants, which left me quite an impression from the start of the setting process. The puzzle also follows a theme of "Day and Night" like my recent
Daybreak puzzle, and I do love making puzzle with some specific themes quite often. Another simple looking puzzle this time but I think it shall still hold some great interest here :)
Estimated difficulty is around lower side of 4/5, I'll still share it as 4/5 by default but I can change my mind and put it back to 3/5. I hope you enjoy!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Adjacent cells on a green line must contain digits that have difference of
at least 5.
- Adjacent cells on an orange line must contain digits that have difference of
at most 2.
Note that due to its nature, digits can repeat along an orange line if allowed by other rules.
- Digits on the gray line have an equal sum N within each box it passes through
(note that box 5 is counted twice).

Solution code: Row 4 (left to right) and column 7 (top to bottom), 18 digits long with no space

Very clever breakin!!! Genius no-off-by-more-than-2 rule!

Thank you so much! The 'orange line' constraint had been used few times in the past but it hasn't been so familiar (even till this day) so I actually wanted to make something from it, and I realized that German whisper line would make a good team with it :)
