Shenanigans
(Published on 9. May 2023, 17:11 by Jay Dyer)
Rules
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- On renban lines (purple), digits on the line cannot repeat, and form a set of consecutive digits in some order.
- On German whisper lines (green), adjacent digits differ by at least 5.
- On region sum lines (blue), each time the line passes through a region, the sum of digits on the line is the same.
- Each line is exactly one of the above constraint types, but some have been drawn in the wrong colour. The wrong-coloured lines are exactly those lines which have the digit D on them (D must be determined by the solver).
Solution code: Row 5 and column 5.

Wow, that was a lot of fun to solve - I'm browsing through older puzzles and this one was a treat!

Just brilliant! I don't think there can be a better implementation of this ruleset.

Puzzles like this remind me that I still have plenty of room to grow as a setter. I hope my puzzles can one day be this brilliant :)

Wow! One of my favorite puzzles! Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting is this reflexive "D".

Wonderful puzzle! The mysterious digit came into play so many times, and with a nice variety of logic.

Fantastic from start to finish. Well done Jay.

Excellent puzzle. Accessible and difficult at the same time.
I doubt anyone could make a puzzle that better uses this "one evil digit" rule. You've created and mastered an entire class of puzzles all at once!
I always enjoy your puzzles, Jay.

Every step of the way was intuitive even though it took me forever to figure it out. Loved it

Nice one! I'll admit I got 95% of the way through before realising I had made an error and I couldn't find where, so I had to start again. It was a gloriously smooth solve the second time around!

Very original ruleset, very tough but rewarding. Thanks for sharing, @ Jay Dyer :)
