(Whisper) Line of Best Fit
(Published on 20. July 2023, 18:38 by gdc)
Did you ever wish for a puzzle that is as much fun as linear regression? Wish no more! This was inspired by The Kropki Diagonal, which looks like it has a boatload of correlation. The rulesets are german whispers, anti-knight and black kropkis. See below for more details.
The difficulty should be somewhere around 2.3 stars depending on your familiarity with knight's move logic. Happy solving!
Rules
- Normal Sudoku Rules
- Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
- Knight's Move Constraint
- Digits must not repeat in cells that are a chess knight's move apart.
- German Whisper Lines
- Adjacent digits along each german whisper line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Black Kropki Dots
- A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily shown.
Solution code: Row 1 (9 digits)

Takes a while to get a break-in. Lots of coloring is needed.
