Liar Japanese Sums #2: German Whispers
(Published on 3. January 2023, 18:59 by Niverio)
Rules:
- Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place digits 1-9 in every row, column and 3x3 box.
- Liar Japanese Sums: Shade some cells in the grid such that clues outside the grid indicate the sums of the continuous blocks of unshaded cells in that row or column. At least one shaded cell must separate the blocks. For every clued row or column, 2 different sets are provided (Left / Right for rows, Top / Bottom for columns.) One set is correct, with correct sums in the correct order.(Always left to right or top to bottom.) The other set is a lie. Which sets are correct must be determined by the solver.
- Empty rows and columns simply indicate that there are no clues provided for that row or column.
Variant: - Green lines are German Whisper lines. Digits along a German Whisper line must differ by at least 5.

The GW added a nice touch at the beginning of the puzzle ! Now I'm dreading to look at number #3, which might fry my brain once again with the ciphering madness ! Thanks for this one :)

This was an excellent puzzle! I'll be honest, the ruleset didn't seem that interesting. But I was happy to be wrong! Can't wait for the next one :)
