Thirteen
(Published on 13. May 2023, 01:22 by Stargazing Albatross)
I wanted to set another sudoku with 'disjoint' and 'non-consecutive' constraints, but with a twist: only two different given digits. The result is what you see in front of you. Have fun solving!
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Disjoint boxes: Cells in the same relative position in their boxes cannot contain the same digit.
Non-consecutive: Orthogonally adjacent cells cannot contain consecutive digits.
The puzzle:
Solution code: row 8 (left to right)

The middle was tough, but very fun.

Felt more like a 2/5 difficulty to me. Maybe I'm just bad with these disjoint puzzles.
That being sad it was very enjoyable and felt quite rewarding :)

Great puzzle. I could not believe that such a setting would lead to a unique solution... Thanks!

A fellow walks by the mental hospital and hears a person screaming "Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!!!" He thinks nothing of it and walks on. Later that same day when he's returning he hears the same voice screaming again. "Thirteen! Thirteen!" He spots a small hole in the wall and decides to take a look, but the moment he peeks into the hole, someone inside jabs a stick into his eye. "Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!!!
Thanks for the enjoyable puzzle.

These disjoint puzzles usually take a while for me as it's really hard to visualize which cells are restricted.
Once I started playing with the colors things open up pretty nicely.
In the end this was very enjoybla, though more like 2/5 in difficulty.

An enjoyable solve, I like how the logic shifted to some degree towards the end :)

I really enjoyed this one. I used colors to keep track of where I couldn't put a number and it was easy sailing up until I started putting 5s in the puzzle, which made the 6s also difficult, but then the 7s saved the day!
