Run In The Shadows
(Published on 13. March 2024, 22:19 by olliwright)
The two characters from my first puzzle have returned and this time they are recreating the cover of the Fleetwood Mac album Rumours.
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 so that they do not repeat in any row, column, or 3x3 box.
- Digits in cages sum to the number in the top-left corner of the cage and must not repeat.
- Digits along a thick grey line increase from the bulb to the tip.
- Consecutive digits along a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
- Digits in a grey circle are odd.
The puzzle is available online via Sudokupad
Solution code: Row 1 from left to right (9 digits)

Bottom right included some very nice logic.

A very easy puzzle with an obvious break-in which instantly gives you the "parities" along the green line. Puzzle has a nice flow to it. Thx for setting!

Phew, 2.5hrs to solve. Took me soooo long to find the clue to continue the solve. Great puzzle though. For a newcomer definitely 2 stars.

@Bunglejohn - I was in the same boat, then realised something very clever was going on in the lower-right area which forced a digit into a cell, whatever a currently ambiguous other set of digits were. That then propelled me towards the end!

This puzzle is hard. I can only assume I missed something as it flowed nicely and then I got stuck with finishing the green line. There must be something. I filled in the options and went colouring and found it broke. It felt a little cheating rather than using pure logic though. (nothing against the puzzle, it is my issue)

This puzzle was great, I think it's more in the 2 star range. Got stuck at one spot for a while, just could not figure out the next step, but after that it flowed really well. Really enjoyed! Thanks for the set!
