(Published on 1. August 2023, 22:14 by dumediat)
This is a puzzle that I created for luda3's birthday, which they encouraged me to share with all of you. Ratings, comments, and feedback are much appreciated! Please feel free to reach out to me on Discord if you have any comments or questions. Please also feel free to try my other puzzles here.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- 159: Each digit in column 1 indicates the position of the 1 in the same row (eg, if r3c1 is a 2, then r3c2 is a 1). The same is true of columns 5 and 9 for the digits 5 and 9, respectively.
- German whispers: Adjacent digits along green lines must differ by at least 5.

Very fun version of the 159 puzzle, which is my favorite.
Maybe it's because I've done quite a few of these, but to me this was more like 2/5 in difficulty. That being said, I can absolutely see how this would be 3* for many.
