Part 2 of my remote constraint series. Solve here: SudokuPad
Part 1: Chaotic Equilibrium
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Cells along a purple line contain a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
- Purple lines are also remote renban lines. A cell on a line containing digit N indexes to cells N steps away in all four directions. For each line, the indexed cells together must form a set of consecutive non-repeating digits in any order.
- Digits on the line are a separate set to the digits indexed by the line. Every cell along a line must index to at least one cell.
Below are a few example lines to show how the lines work. In this example the digits along the red line index to the red cells in the indicated directions. Same applies to the green and blue lines.
Actual puzzle:
Solution code: row 9 then column 8

What a wonderful puzzle! The logical chain works from start to finish, so you can play smoothly.

To peterkp: the digits in the cells referenced by each individual digit on the line are not necessarily consecutive. You first mark all the cells referenced by all digits on a line combined, the consecutive rule applies only to this combined set.
To Chad: thank you, great fresh idea! Very interesting puzzle!
