(Published on 1. November 2023, 16:10 by gUBBLOR)
Equality Cages 102: Renbanification
Equality Cages 104: Even the lines split their sums equally
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.
Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.
X: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Not all X's are shown.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits along each German Whisper line must have a difference of at least 5. Digits may repeat on the line.

I've done 4 or 5 of the puzzles in this series now and they've all been fantastic! I'm really loving the dynamics between all the live types and the equality cages. Looking forward to getting through the full series. Thank you!

Nice puzzle. Found it easier than 102, which I haven't solved yet. I often struggle with Renban logic though.

Thanks! When I was new to variant sudoku I often chose to solve puzzles that was featured on YouTube, and that way I could give it my best, but if I got stuck I could see how someone else moved forward and learn from that. Sudoku Sleuth has posted the first two puzzles from the series on YouTube, so if you either wanna give the Renban one a go or just watch someone else solve it, that may be of interest to you! I have now put a link to said video on the puzzle page.

Very nice puzzle.
Took me a while before I realized you don't need to have equal amount of odd and even of both small and large numbers so e.g. 2479 is ok.
So on my third try this puzzle flowed through very nicely.
