A Christmas Star
(Published on 23. December 2024, 21:03 by The Bard)
While we take a moment to enjoy a sudoku, let us not forget the reason for Christmas: the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Regardless of your belief system, it is important to acknowledge the influence of this person and the countless number of lives He has given hope to.
This puzzle is dedicated to the star that guided the wise men to find and help save Jesus from the evil Herod.
Normal Sudoku rules apply, place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and box.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
Ratio Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio.
Thermo: Digits on grey thermos must increase from the bulb to the tip.
Renban: Digits placed on purple lines must be a non-repeating set of consecutive digits, in any order.
Anti-Knight: Cells that are a Knight's move apart (in chess) may not contain the same digit.
