Gurth - the Camel King
(Published on 1. September 2023, 15:16 by frankpujo)
The new King has been crowned: Gurth, the camel! This Caligula-like move might seem absurd, but Gurth is actually a very responsible king: with just some restrictions he has managed to make the kingdom surprisingly orderly and, dare I say, symmetric!
Ruleset- Anti-Camel: digits separated by a "camel move" (3-1 movement: 3 cells in a direction and then 1 cell in an orthogonal direction from there) may not be equal (the "camel" denomination was inspired by Scruffamudda's Sudoku Safari";
- Anti-King: digits separated by a king move in chess (adjacent orthogonally or diagonally) may not be equal;
- Greater then: the cells separated by the ">" symbol are one greater than the other according to the sign's direction;
- White kropki (with negative constraint): cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits;
- German whisper: the green line in box1 is a german whisper, so adjacent cells along the line have a difference of at least 5.

Removed Gurth's Theorem rule as it is not necessary to the solve.

That's right, it's not necessary. I initially believed it would have been a bit too hard (for my likings and my objective with the puzzle) to solve without it, but after a closer look I was completely wrong about it. I'm therefore changing the ruleset, thanks!

Sorry but the Gurth's theorem is not necessary at all to solve this...
