Shifter Lines 112: Slingshots
(Published on 22. March 2024, 17:27 by gUBBLOR)
Here's yet another puzzle with Shifter Lines! The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 125 x Shifter Lines 111: Valentine
Shifter Lines 113: Pairdoku
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Shifter lines: Adjacent digits within the same box on a shifter line share both parity (even/odd) AND polarity (low/high). Whenever the line enters a new box either the parity OR the polarity shifts, never both. Shifter lines can never have 5 on it. Digits may repeat on lines.
Slingshots: If an arrow is present in a cell, the digit in the cell the arrow comes from appears in the grid in the direction of the arrow at a distance of N cells, where N is the digit in the arrow's cell. I.e. if the arrow in R8C1 was a 4, that means the digit in R8C2 also have to appear in R4C1. If R2C8 was a 6 and R2C9 was a 5 then R7C9 would also be a 6.
Solve here:

Solution code: Row 4 left to right and column 7 top to bottom - no spaces.
