Unzipped
(Published on 30. October 2023, 00:41 by marty_sears)
Had a lot of fun helping ViKingPrime with this liar puzzle using some newer line constraints. Here are three other excellent puzzles that preceded it, using the same ruleset:
Shenanigans by Jay Dyer
Fourberie by ViKingPrime
Chicanery by ViKingPrime
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Kropki: White dots separate two consecutive digits; Black dots separate two digits where one is double the other [ratio of 1:2] (not all dots are given).
- Palindrome (slate):
Digits along a Palindrome line read the same from both directions (e.g. 153747351).
- Same Difference (turquoise):
Every pair of adjacent digits on a Same Difference line has the same difference (this value may be different for different lines).
- Zipper (lavender):
Digits an equal distance from the center of a Zipper line must sum to the digit in the middle of that line.
MODIFIERS:
- Shenanigans!:: Each line is one of the above constraint line-types but some are lying to you (i.e. they must satisfy one of the other line-types and not the presented colour). The wrong-coloured lines are exactly those lines which have the digit 'D' on them ('D' must be determined by the solver).

I like the shenanigans modifier. The middle part of this was best, but all of it was good.

Incredible logic from start to finish! Really liked how many different digits were able to be the sus one until the big reveal :)
