- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- The orange lines are palindromes. They contain a set of digits that reads the same in both directions.
- Each two adjacent digits on a long palindrome (19 digits) contain an even and an odd digit.
- Pink dot means 4 surrounding cells contain 4 not repeating consecutive digits in any order.
- Adjacent digits on a green Whisper lines must differ by 5 or more.

When I was working on another sudoku, I noticed a strange arrangement of digits. I combined them into a palindrome. It turned out to be long, symmetrical and alternating even-odd. This is just a miracle! I made a simple sudoku based on it, which I suggest you solve. I hope you enjoy the solving and provide feedback in the comments.
Solution code: row 3 (9 digits)

I have almost solved it. Ran into two possible solutions at the very end at row 3 column 5&6 and column 5&6. Have i missed something?

Try to check even-odd alternating on a palindrome

I probably would have solved it much quicker if I had paid attention to the parity rule...wasn't critical until the very end.

I didn't know that. Anyway, I'm sure you'd enjoy the solving more if you used it. Thanks for feedback.

I didn’t need to use the German whisper line at all. Lots of fun with the palindrome!!

Yes. This line performs rather a cosmetic function. I'm glad you appreciated the ideas.

improved rules description

Very cute! May I suggest you explain the parity switch better? Right now it reads as if there is only one odd and one even digit on the long palindrome, which is obviously not the case. :)

Thank you for feedback. I've changed the description. I hope everything is clear now.
