Zippularity
(Published on 3. August 2024, 06:04 by FullDeck-Missing)
All lines are both Zipper AND Modular lines.
Zipper Lines: Along Zipper lines, pairs of digits equidistant from the center of the line have the same sum. For Zipper lines of odd length, that sum is the central digit on the line.
Modular lines: Any set of three adjacent digits along a modular line has three different remainders when divided by 3.

The opening to this felt pretty hard, but once it started to flow it was much easier so I guess overall 3/5 here too. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong place!

Thank you for this fantastic puzzle, FullDeck-Missing! The deductions arising from the hybrid zipper/modular lines were incredible. In the beginning, it felt like I had to work hard to get any progress. But the more I thought rather in arithmetic than in sudoku/pencil-marking terms, the more I understood about the puzzle and it started to flow beautifully. Thank you for setting and sharing this gem!
