Parasites
(Published on 4. September 2024, 06:24 by juggler)
In the 6x6 grid, normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply. In the grid made of four parasites, normal 4x4 Sudoku rules apply.
KROPKI - Digits separated by a white dot have consecutive values.
PARASITES - Each parasite has implanted a copy of itself somewhere in the 6x6 grid, which has the same digits in the same orientation. These copies do not overlap, and the location of the green one is given. Orthogonally adjacent cells with a parasite boundary between them differ by at least 2 (this rule applies in both grids).
Solution code: Row 1 of the 6x6 grid

The parasites have implanted themselves in my brain and compelled me to give a good rating and leave a comment.
I welcome our new parasite overlords!

This is one of those puzzles that, when you first read the rules, seems impossible. But every step flows incredibly smoothly, and by the time you finish, the inevitability of the result makes you wonder how you couldn't see it from the start. Really beautiful setting.

That was absolutely stunning. I did not expect the idea of hiding four 2x2s in a 6x6 would contain this amount of interesting and clever deductions. Well done and thanks!

Wow. I mean, wow.
You always deliver in novelty, execution and aesthetics.
This is an incredible one again!
