Parity Party XXVII, "Frühling"
(Published on 23. March 2023, 01:51 by glum_hippo)
This is a follow-up to one of my most treasured Parity Party puzzles, namely PP XII, "Autumn".
Now the leaf is green, and the season has changed.
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or 3x3 box.
The green lines are 'bumpy road' lines (also known as German Whispers). Each pair of subsequent digits along the line must have an absolute difference of at least 5.
Along the edge are 'Parity Party' clues. They give the sum of all seen digits from that vantage point, up to and including the first odd OR first even digit. A one-digit clue may simply equal the first seen digit (i.e., the sum of zero evens and one odd or vice versa).
Solve in F-puzzles or in the CtC app (the latter including answer check).
Solution code: The 9th row, followed by the 3rd column (18 digits total).

Ich stand eben vor einem kleinen Dilemma. Ich liebe sowohl German Whispers- als auch Odd/Even-Puzzle, allerdings bleibe ich am liebsten im 1- bis 2-Sterne-Bereich, was die Schwierigkeit betrifft.
Bin aber froh, dass ich mich doch mal rangewagt habe, auch wenn ich drei oder vier mal neu anfangen musste, weil ich jedes Mal eine Kombinationsmöglichkeit übersehen hatte.
Das Lösen war dafür umso befriedigender. :D Danke für das Rätsel!
— Herzlichen Dank für diesen liebenswürdigen Kommentar! Ich kann bestätigen, daß die Parity-Party- und German-Whispers-Regeln sich sehr gut verzahnen lassen.
