Equality Cages 105: Palindromesemordnilap

(Published on 2. November 2023, 18:29 by gUBBLOR)

Here's puzzle number 5 in my Equality Cages series. The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 104: Even the lines split their sums equally
Equality Cages 106: Are you feeling the heat? Cool!

All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots

This one is gonna be harder than the previous ones. It's really pushing the Equality Cage logic, so you may be at an advantage if you have solved some of the other puzzles.



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.

Palindromes: Digits along a palindrome line read the same forwards or backwards. Palindromes never branch, so if lines are crossing each other that means they are different lines.

Very satisfying. Had me thinking "Am I doing this right?" for most of the solving.

A very nice sudoku. Thank you for the hints, I learned about colouring. Two stars for me with it.

This was by far the hardest of the series I've solved so far (didn't use any of the hints), but it also had the most interesting logic surrounding the equality cages. Thanks!

LOVED IT!
Flows very well, a bit tricky but not impossible.

And, I didn't use any of the hints, so YAY me!
