Title: NOPE
Type: Sudoku
Link: CTC App link to NOPE Sudoku
Link: F-puzzles link to NOPE Sudoku
Variants: German Whispers, Broken 159
0) Sudoku
- Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and box.
1) German Whispers
- Adjacent values along the green German Whispers line must have a difference of 5 or greater.
2) Broken 159 (and 46)
- 2.1) For a colored cell in Column X, the digit in that cell points to X for that row.
- 2.2) Negative constraints apply to Columns 14569.
- 2.3) Example: A colored cell in Column 4 indicates where the 4 is in the row that contains that colored cell. i.e. A 2 in a colored R1C4 places a 4 in R1C2. A 2 in an uncolored R1C4 means R1C2 cannot be 4.
Solution code: Please enter the 18 digits of Column 3 followed by Row 9.

Amazing puzzle, I made the wrong assumption twice but it's so good that I don't mind retracing the steps at all.

Definitely harder than it looks, though it may just be for getting used to the negative constraint and its implications. I spent 70 minutes on this, most of which was just looking for the big break-in. But in the end, it was well worth it.

Thank you very much for the solve. I have been trying to post more approachable puzzles, that are also fun. Hopefully I hit the sweet spot with this one.

Changed 2.2 in the German version per SKORP17's suggestion.

bitte auch die deutsche Übersetzung anpassen! (wegen 2.2) negative Einschränkungen nur für Spalten 1 4 5 6 9

Danke für die Erinnerung. Ich werde das jetzt tun. Hoffentlich hat euch das besser gefallen als mein letztes Puzzle. Ich war ein bisschen traurig, dass du BAD Snooker gehasst hast.

For me it's not obvious whether the negative constraints apply to all columns or just to colums 159 and 46.

I will fix this in the rules. Thank you for the solve

EDIT:
Thinking about this again, i am pretty sure it CAN only apply to columns 159 an 46. (or it would be unsolvable)
