Another exploration of overlapping lines and symmetry, following in the footsteps of Point of View and Re-framed.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku, Region Sum Lines, German Whispers, and Renban rules apply:
- Normal Sudoku: Place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Region Sum Lines: Digits on a blue line must have the same sum within each 3x3 box the line passes through. Different lines may have different sums.
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Renbans: Digits on a pink line form a non-repeating consecutive set, but can be arranged in any order.

Very interesting and fun puzzle. Lots of cool deductions throughout the puzzle. I agree, these overlapping line puzzles are great!

I loved this… it felt totally bonkers at first but then with some thought about the implications of the interactions the initial deduction for the break in was so clever but it didn’t then just fall apart. Some lovely interactions to the end..thank you so much for this.
