A Tasting of Christmas
(Published on 1. December 2023, 00:59 by Kippar)
Since Christmas is right around the corner, I wanted to make a little nice and quick treat for all of you to get ready for the holidays.
RULES:
Normal sudoku rules ALMOST apply. Place 4 digits from 1-9 in every row, column, and 2x2 box. Those 4 digits must be determined by the solver.
Neighboring digits on the green line must differ by at least 5.
The total difference of the digits on the red line must stay above 0. (i.e if the digits on the red line were 9, 4, 3, and 1, then the total difference would be 9-4-3-1 = 1.)
Digits on the arrow sum to the arrow's circle. Digits in the cage sum to a number bigger than 4.
Solution code: Row 3 followed by row 4. (Rows are read left to right, no spaces)

"Total Difference" means the largest number minus all other numers. For 9,7,1,2 it is 9-7-2-1 = -1

I don't understand the meaning of total difference, if four numbers are 9, 7, 1, 2, what is their total difference?
