Mounting Pressure (Between Lines)
(Published on 3. September 2024, 11:57 by Blashyrkh)
Mounting Pressure
My first time using Between Lines! Not an easy constraint to work with, but in the end I managed to implement my ideas.
I think I got some pretty unusual logic out of the lines, so the puzzle turned out quite challenging.
Thanks to Fool On A Hill from the CtC Discord for testing and discussions :)
Rules:
- Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 into every row, column, and box.
- Between Lines: Digits along a grey line must be strictly between the digits in the attached circles.
Solution code: row 5

I would like to join the choir and give props to the creator for this beautiful puzzle. It deserves the five-star rating, but when you are done and go through the steps again, you realise how simple it could've been if you understood the logic from the start. Elegant and a must-solve for anyone in doubt.

This was so brutal, I spent almost a hour only thinking about what was going on with those circles. Brilliant idea :)

I had something of a headstart on this puzzle having used those Between line shapes myself (see 'Tete a tete'). Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed solving this and it was an excellent construction!

Just wonderful! This is a very intricately set puzzle that only reveals its secrets after intense questioning. It is also very rewarding. Thanks a lot for this beautiful construction, Blashyrkh!
