This is my second puzzle for Scojo's and Hatgurl's impostor challenge, you can find the first puzzle here.
In this second phase of the challenge, each participant was assigned some other setter they were tasked to impersonate. I got assigned the brilliant Justin V.

I didn't know about Justin before, so I decided to solve some of their puzzles first. Although I ended up only managing to solve one, I still had fun with the others. In particular, I liked Murder Mystery Sudoku and Domino Effect from which I drew stylistic inspiration for my own puzzle.

Even with my best efforts though, I had little chance against Justin's real puzzle Where are you going?, as it seems like only he could have set that puzzle. Nonetheless, I still like the puzzle I came up with, which is the following:



Solve with SudokuPad.

Rules:

  • Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.

  • Kropki - Black dots separate values in a (1:2) ratio. White dots separate consecutive values. Not all dots are given.

  • German Whispers - Adjacent values on a green line must differ by at least 5.

  • Queens' Gambit - Place 9 queens onto the board so that no two queens threaten each other. The value of a cell is either its digit or, if a queen is placed on that cell, it is the box number in which the cell is located. Queens may repeat in boxes and digits may repeat in queen cells.

Solution code: Row 9 from left to right (9 digits).
