Parity Paradise
(Published on 9. September 2023, 13:42 by Cablr)
Standard Sudoku rules apply. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Digits in cages sum to the small clue in the top left of the cage. The positive diagonal cannot repeat any digits. Pink lines are equal parity lines, i.e. they consist of either entirely even or entirely odd digits.
Solution code: Top row, left to right

Parity Plaza was my first ever Parity Puzzle so it took me quite a bit and this "more challenging one" actually only took me half the time because by now i had my head wrapped around the logic. both really enjoyable puzzles, thanks much!

I love this puzzle!
Personally, I think it deserves 2-star rating, but this may be a 3-star puzzle for beginners. So I rated it as 3/5 difficulties.

Thank you for setting and sharing, that was nice and I agree with the 2 star rating.
I also got stuck for a bit at the 9 cage, but other than that it all was pretty straight forward and smooth.

Thank you for this entertaining puzzle, Cablr! For me some of the deductions did not feel very obvious. Therefore I have given 3/5 difficulty. Anyhow, the solve was good fun. Thank you for setting and sharing!

I agree with the 2 star rating but the way I rate is entirely based on how long it takes me and these are the types of puzzles I am good at.

Lowered difficulty rating as per feedback

Since you asked for difficulty opinions, I'd personally say this one is closer to 2 stars rather than 3. However, that doesn't detract at all from the fact that it was very fun to solve!

Author note: As a relatively new constructor, I'm still trying to figure out how difficult a puzzle should be for a 3 star ranking. To me, this feels somewhere between 2 and 3 star, but please let me know your opinions.
