Roses are red

(Published on 12. February 2024, 20:34 by Schma)

Right on time for Valentine's Day, I wanted to create a special rose for my girlfriend. Have a look at my "Roses are red" Sudoku.

Any comments are highly appreciated. :)

Play on SudokuPad

The rules are as follows:

  • Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  • German Whisper: Adjacent digits along a green German Whisper line must differ by at least 5.
  • Parity: Adjacent digits along a red Parity line must alternate between odd and even parity.
  • Squares: Digits in grey squares are even.
  • X/V: Digits in cells separated by V sum to 5 and digits in cells seperated by X sum to 10.
  • There are no negative constraints.

In terms of difficutly, I would rate the puzzle at ~2/5.

Solution code: All digits from row 8 (left to right).

I loved the break-in and it was beautiful, visually. My only wish is that it didn't complete so quickly once you get the first digits as it was a lot of fun getting everything set up.

Very fun and very pretty! I struggled a bit early on, but eventually got it and was smooth sailing.
I managed it in 34 minutes.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
I've finished this puzzle,
And now say, "Adieu."

Always nice to see a puzzle that has both a nice line picture as well as interesting logic. This definitely accomplishes both for me!
