Continuous Zippers
(Published on 25. December 2023, 17:00 by ViKingPrime)
PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Parity (red): Digits along a Parity line alternate parity [odd/even].
• Renban (pink): Digits along a Renban line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits.
MODIFIER:
• Zippermania: Each line also acts as a Zipper line, wherein digits an equal distance from the center must sum to the digit in the middle of that line.
INTRODUCTION:
It's quite interesting how different lines behave when they're forced to also function as Zippers. The previous entry was a bit more of a challenge than this, I expect; regardless, I'd like to test some more options and then throw these constraints together, to see what shakes out.
Have fun! (and Happy Holidays!)

A lovely, simple idea that acts as a perfect introduction to these line constraints, though I did get stuck on the normal sudoku at the end for an embarrassingly long time! Thank you for a delightful puzzle once again :)

Lovely stuff! A nice minimal starting grid that is very surprisingly enough to lead to a unique solution. Although in theory it's quite a straightforward and easy puzzle, I made it! Was very satisfying and smooth once I stopped making mistakes haha
