Delicacy (Killer + Renban + German Whisper combo)
(Published on 18. February 2023, 10:11 by Playmaker6174)
This one came out as a result from original pen and paper works, during a terribly hot weather with terrible internet connection and I eventually redrafted it on my setup. It's no surprise that this one may be the most challenging of all threes, but I think the solve path shall still remain fascinating throughout with couple of funny moments.
Looking back at these, I'll say that I'm pretty satisfied of how this decent trilogy concluded and I'll gladly revisit this combo at any time in the future. For now, I hope you enjoy the final entry!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Digits within a cage don't repeat and they sum to the small number written in the top left of that cage.
- Digits along a purple line must form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
- Adjacent digits along a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
Puzzle:
Good luck and have fun solving!
Solution code: Row 5 (left to right) and column 5 (top to bottom), 18 digits long with no space

This puzzle flowed so well, I almost would rate it a bit easier....but the logic puzzles were solid (and consistent to the end). Very nice. Thanks!
