PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
•
Dutch Whisper (
orange): Digits along each Dutch Whisper line must differ in value by at least four [4].
•
Canadian Whisper (
red): Digits along each Canadian Whisper line must differ in value by at least six [6].
•
American Shout (
blue): Digits along each American Shout line must differ in value by at least eight [8]! (
USA! USA!)
Note: No line bisects another.
•
Kropki: Black dots separate two cells where one is double the other [ratio of 1:2] (not all dots are given).
MODIFIER:
•
Shenanigans!: Each line is exactly one of the above constraint line-types but some are lying to you (the nerve..). The wrong-coloured lines are exactly those lines which have the digit 'D' on them ('D' must be determined by the solver).
Note: Each time you discover a lying clue, you must declare "J'Accuse!" to your computer screen (this is on the honour system).
INTRODUCTION:
This puzzle is based on the wonderful, the inspired, the maddening "
Shenanigans" by
Jay Dyer. I felt the gauntlet had been thrown down, the duel issued after having struck us across the face with its brilliance. This is the counter-blow, the parry, the rebuff! I sincerely hope it lives up to the original.
Here are some puzzles from other setters using the same constraint:

Really love the Shenanigans ruleset, and this was a great implementation of it. Some genuinely satisfying surprises along the way, and big realisations to make. The three red crosses are delicious, and the way they interact with the blue squares.
