The idea for this puzzle was to use Hit Points constraint and take it further, creating a peculiar twist on the regular Sandwich rule. Hope you enjoy this one :D
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Hit Point Sandwiches: a number outside the grid gives the sum of digits between the only two digits in that row or column that match their position numerically when looking in the direction away from that clue. For example, a row with a 35 clue on the left might be filled as 187624359.
- German Whispers: adjacent digits on the green lines must differ by at least 5.
Solution code: Row 9

Here's my solve of this puzzle. It took a long while to get the logic of this puzzle so the video is long because of it. But I enjoyed the hit point sandwiches rule and the logic behind the solve.

Loved the logic for the break-in.
I did get kind of bogged down near the end, and had to just go down branches and see which one broke. I'm not sure if there's a more elegant way of solving the puzzle when you're almost finished.
Fun puzzle!

Lovely stuff, a wonderful use of the hitpoint idea in a different way. :)
