Normal sudoku rules apply.
Each of the following standard clue types occurs exactly three times in the grid: white dots, black dots, arrow, sandwich, Xs, Vs, thermos, quadruples, odds (gray circles), evens (gray squares), renban (purple) and German whispers (green).
For each of those clue types, exactly two of the appearances of that clue are correct, and the other is incorrect. [A clue is incorrect if it is not fully correct. For example, an incorrect quadruple might see one of the digits both not all of them.]

A cracking puzzle. I remember solving this on CTC when it was featured and it was tricky, but this time I hit a wall for some time before seeing a slightly convoluted way through.

100th solve! Absolutely phenomenal. Borderline-terrifying path construction.

Amazing puzzle ! My lying detector has run out of power after this, but it was well worth it. A tough step around midsolve at the top of the grid for me, so it felt really good when it finally clicked !

My first ever 5 star! I normally only do 1 star puzzles but saw this was a great puzzle so tried it and nearly 4 hours later I've done it! I did notice at one point I could just guess the one that was wrong most groups without working it out but followed the spirit of the logic instead. Now to go and watch someone solve it properly.

Just an astonishingly brilliant puzzle. Took me over an hour and I'm pleased with how quick it was, and I haven't stopped smiling since finishing.

I'm not that good at sudoku but after 3 hours and a wrong solution I made it. Best sudoku I have ever made and one of the best I have ever seen. Thank zetamath

one of the hardest puzzles i've solved on this site, yet every step fell into place naturally once i understood the next piece of logic. i feel quite proud of myself for finishing it, and you should too, for setting it!

What a puzzle! I finished in a little under an hour, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Except for about 4 seconds in the middle. They know which ones they are. Hats off to you!

One of my all-time favorites as well. I was so proud of having solved it that I left the tab open for a few days just so I could come back and stare at the finished grid every so often. What an absolute masterpiece.

It was overwhelming at first, then went smoothly for a while and got harder in the last third (of time spent, not numbers). Really fun.

I really enjoyed this puzzle. The execution of the setting is just brilliant!

Oh my... It took me around 5 hours, but I managed to do it. I would love to see a video of someone explaining the logic they followed as I got stuck mid solve! Fun! love this type of puzzle.

Truly an explosion of cacophony, a pinnacle of intricacy, an example of order among chaos.

Absolutely mindblowing construction, a joy to figure out every step, but definitely a 5 star for difficulty for me :D
