- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits separated by a red dot are non-consecutive and contain one even digit and one odd digit. All dots are given!
Solution code: Row 9 (9 digits)

Such a cool puzzle for only a one star difficulty! Once I stopped ignoring the negative constraints it was so much fun.

LOVED this. Sped up a lot towards the end when the penny finally dropped about the implications of the negative constraint!

I wish it was heart too. Not only brain.

Super fun puzzle. Love it when all instances of a clue are shown.

Thanks! For some reason, I like it too. Although it doesn't look quite aesthetically pleasing...

These mind benders are quite nice every now and then. Really makes you rethink your sudoku logic.
This was a bit laborious, in a good sense, but not too difficult in the end.
Thank you Fractal for a nice change of pace puzzle.

I am glad that you got a new feeling in sudoku. I like to create unusual, fresh things. Apparently, I did it.

A bit counterintuitive to think about non-consecutive number, but a very fun puzzle!

Haha. I hope you've flexed your brain a bit. Thanks!

Very nice idea. I was struggling a bit at first because I hadn’t read the rules properly, after realising how powerful the negative constraint was it solved smoothly.
