Clearly or Darkly
(Published on 6. February 2023, 07:32 by zegres)
“What does a scanner see? he asked himself.
I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart?
Does a scanner see into me - into us - clearly or darkly?
I have recently set a few puzzles with my Parity Mirror idea.
I have tried to make these approachable and use a single constraint to see how its logic works with parity reflection.
The previous one, Stare Directly at the Sum, uses arrows with a parity mirror.
Please let me know what you think of this one.
Thanks to Playmaker for testing and feedback!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.
- Kropki:
White dots join consecutive digits.
Black dots join digits with 1:2 ratio.
There is no negative constraint. - Parity Mirror:
Odd/Even parity is reflected across the blue line.
For example: if R6C2 is odd, R2C6 must also be odd.
If you don't, please let me know why so I can improve as a setter.
Solution code: Row 9 (9 digits no spaces)

Thanks a lot! Very nice and approachable combination of the rules. Sometimes it took me a little while to find the next step, but it was never to hard.

Lovely and fairly smooth puzzle! I'm glad that I could test this version for you, I could've worked on row 789 faster though :}
