Mystery Lines Somedoku
This is somedoku #17. Check out the rest of the puzzles in the somedoku series.
This was set for Scojo's imposter challenge. This was my entry for a puzzle that represented my setting style. My congratulations to Prof. Dori for his successful impersonation of me with Modulo 4 Somedoku.
Rules:
- Somedoku: Fill each cell with a digit from 1-9. Fill every row 'n' and column 'n' with exactly 'n' different digits, repeating digits as necessary.
- Domino: Cells separated by an : 'X' sum to 10, 'V' sum to five, white dot are consecutive, and black dot are in a 1 to 2 ratio.
- Mystery Lines: Each of the horizontal lines contains a different rule, which you must determines. The available line types are:
- Parity: Every pair of adjacent cells contain exactly one odd digit.
- Different Differences: Every pair of adjacent digits has a different difference.
- Nabner: No two digits can be consecutive (but they CAN repeat).
- German Whisper: Adjacent digits differ by at least 5.
- Same Difference: Every pair of adjacent digits has the same difference.
- 10 Line: Divide the line into non-overlapping segments. The sum of the digits in each segment is 10.
- Zipper: Each pair of digits that are the same distance from the line's central cell sum to the digit in that center cell.
- Modular: Any set of three sequential cells contains one digit from (147), (258), and (369).
- Entropic: Any set of three sequential cells contains one digit from (123), (456), and (789).
- NOTE: The right two columns are for taking notes. The solution check should work if these are left blank.
Solution code: Column 6 from top to bottom.

I love your somedoku series, and this is one of my favorites! Such an interesting variety of logic, and the break-in I discovered was not what I expected.
I hope somedoku carries on in popularity and other setters keep creating them too.

Not appreciated enough! So much to learn, methodical approach, no guessing needed. Exel for side notes helped. Just love it.

Very nice puzzle! Not super difficult if you understand the nature of each of the lines.

I struggled a lot in the middle of the puzzle, but there was a moment where everything just clicked and I got so many deductions in a flurry. Then after another short pause that ending fell into place beautifully.
I don't always finish your somedokus but I usually have a look, and I'm glad I pushed through this time!
