Jardins Sous la Pluie Deux
(Published on 28. March 2024, 04:30 by RedBarchetta)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Variant rules are slightly varied.
Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and 3x3 box once each. White kropki dots separate two consecutive digits. The inequality sign points to the smaller digit. Green lines are German Whisper lines, and consecutive digits on these lines must differ by 5 or more. The gray line is a palindrome line where digits are the same forward to backward. Box 9 is a magis square, where the horizontal 3 cells each, the vertical 3 cells each, and the two diagonals must all sum to the same number! Apologies for missing adding this constraint!
Purple lines are Renban lines and must contain a set of consecutive digits. Variant - The Closed Renban lines in boxes 1,2,4,5 MUST contain consecutive digits in order smallest to largest (thermometer renban lines). The other renban lines may have their consecutive digits in any order.
(See the first Gardens in the Rain puzzle Here:)
I missed two very important constraints when I published the puzzle. Box 9 is a magic square, and box 2-3 has a white kropki dot. The moral of the story is whiskey and setting don't mix! Sorry for the frustrations!

Just adding another apology. Box 9 is a magic square. If THAT does not provide a unique solution then I quit lol! Thanks all for your patience and diligence!

Added the missing constraint for a unique solution. Box 9 is a magic square. My sincere apologies.

ich habe bisher 3 loesungen gefunden, aber keine funktioniert als loesungscode.
da muss man raten
i found 3 solutions (and there are probably more) and none works as code.
i had to guess.
i think you need to add a rule or constraint

m.e ist die Lösung nicht eindeutig

I don't see how this is going anywhere without a guess ... would be interested to know what the key is.
>>I completely forgot to add that box 9 is a magic square. When I translated my sudoku into sudokumaker I looked at each symbol and added its rule. Since magic squares have no visual symbol, I just totally forgot to add that constraint. Apologies!<<

I also got a different solution to your code and it looks fine. Looks like one more constraint would do the job. I like the setting very much so far.
>>Correct - I forgot to add the box 9 is a magic square because it doesn't use any visual symbols so I forgot to add that to the ruleset - my spologies!!<<
