Till’s Cheery Challenge
(Published on 26. May 2024, 14:33 by wuc)
Another co-work with my son Till. He did the design, I tought of some (hopefully) clever challenging interactions. Leave a comment if you enjoyed it.
Rules:
Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 9 appear in every row, column, and box.
Thermometers: Digits on Thermos are strictly increasing from bulb to tip.
Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.
German Whispers: Usually shown as green lines, adjacent digits along a German Whispers line must differ by at least five.
Renban line: Usually shown as purple lines, digits along a Renban line must form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
Quadruples: Digits in a Quadruple circle must be placed at least once in the four cells touching that circle.
Odd: The cell marked with a grey circle contains an odd digit.
Solution code: Row 8 left to right.

I enjoyed this puzzle very much. (Both the design and interactions). Thank you both for sharing.

Definitely a 2* puzzle. The logic at the bottom is tricky, but satisfying once you see it.

Very nice and gentle after opening and immediately closing a new one from Jay Dyer ;p.

Very nice, the bottom half seemed tricker than the top half.

As Rearden said, the odd rule is relevant.
Anyway a nice puzzle

Added the missing odd dot rule. More of a cosmetic element I know.
