Bad Bad Horsy 3 (As Good As New)

(Published on 1. July 2021, 21:15 by ebbelwoi)

JJ Hey Lucky Luke, what's been my shoemaker doing around here? I just saw him leaving with his big sledge hammer.
LL Oh, hi Jolly Jumper, Mr. Sam Silver has just reapaired the Magic Square, that you've had completely destroyed.
JJ Oh come on, cowboy! The magic still had been working, sort of! But why didn't you hire a goldsmith instead of a shoemaker for the job?
LL Mr Silver is a blacksmith, but he has golden hands, as you can see. And his cousin, Mr Black is on vacation.
JJ Oh, I know, his hands are bigger than my shoes, and boy, he has a punch! - Like a steam hammer, I tell you. Almost as hard as my left backhoof. He sometimes paints my nails also.
LL What?
JJ Well, he gives me bright and shiny nails everytime, and sometimes he even paints them silver. Delly told me, she once got red shiny nails hammered, she liked them a lot and was very proud of them.
...
LL You know, it's a present for the Mighty Wizard, and look at it now! Mr Silver has spent almost two hours, and it now looks as good as new!
All the diamonds are in the middle again, surrounded by the saphires in the corner, and he also added the six rubies again, which are perfectly aligned with the center.
JJ Yeah, looks kinda nice, but I prefer apples.
LL So you really did eat them rubies last time, you bastard!
JJ Well, Look, Lucky, look!
LL Luke
JJ Look Luke, all the debree had spread out in the sand anyways, and Nelly was kinda curious about the red sparkly stones. So we've tried a few.
And then her sister Melly told me, I was very brave. - She's always so cute!
LL Perhaps she likes you too.
JJ -
LL Hey pal, what's wrong? Why are your eyes crossed, and why are you tumbling like dizzy?
Come on Buddy breathe, breathe! - You might get unconscious otherwise ...

Nooo, not onto the gift!


Ruleset:
  • Normal Sudoku-rules apply.
  • Antiknight: Cells wich are a chess-knight's move apart must not contain the same digit.
  • Kropki: Numbers in cells combined with a white dot are consecutive, and numbers in cells combined with a black dot have a ratio of 1:2.
  • Broken Magicsquare: The coloured cells (kind of) form a (sort of) magicsquare, the center is purple, corners are green and edges are bluegray. Each row, every column and both diagonals add to the same sum.
  • Rubies (misaligned): The two red marked regions contain the same digits in arbitrary order.
This f-puzzles link is missing the outer lines of the "square".

Solution code: 7th row and 4th column

@kkli
there _is_ people, who like to speak (or write) first before thinking, I am very glad, you don't belong to that majority.

Did you like the flow? Thank you!

@wilsig
Great! You have proven that the central digit must NOT be 5, good job and so much effort!
How about solving it now?

If the central digit must be 5, the puzzle is broken as a 5 cannot join a black dot !?
