Happy Birthday Marty Sears!
(Published on 31. May 2024, 09:26 by Ratfinkz)
I used some of what I affectionately call MMM's (Mad Marty Moments) including Different Difference Lines, Cell modifiers I've called MMM's (value of cell = rowxcolumn number) and Kropki dots. (See puzzle instructions for details if you are unfamiliar with any of these.) A big thank you to The Pedalling Pianist and Scojo For testing, much appreciated!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTY
Solution code: Digits in MMM (modifier cells, not just digits on the M's!) cells, from r1 to r9

Thankyou so much Ratfinkz for this fantastic bday surprise! I really loved how you took some of my favourite rules and made them your own. The long DD lines was really clever, and the dot in the bottom left made me laff :) You are awesome! x

I'm frightened to ask at what age one becomes "officially middle aged", because I know I passed that age a looooong time ago :-) Happy Birthday Marty!
