Equality Cages 117: Equality Chaos
(Published on 25. December 2023, 10:14 by gUBBLOR)
Yet another Equality Cage puzzle, this time in collaboration with
isajo4002! The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 116: Fluister tijd (Whisper time)
Equality Cages 118: Sum equally consecutive lines
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Chaos Construction: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and region. The regions are orthogonally connected and the shapes must be deduced by the solver. No constraint may cross region borders.
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.
XV: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Adjacent cells connected with a V must sum to 5. Not all X's or V's are shown.

I like the solution code using the colored region (which I solved after the grid was complete.)
