This puzzle was created to commemorate the 44th Chess Olympiad hosted by India in which 188 teams from 186 nations participated. The Whisper lines looks like a Bishop piece (in chess) and this Bishop has 2 eyes, a nose and a bulb head (odd digit in R1C5) and it is smiling.

  • Neighbouring digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.
  • Cells separated by a black dot contain digits with a 1:2 ratio.
  • Cells separated by X must contain digits summing to 10.
  • Cells separated by V must contain digits summing to 5.
  • The cell with grey circle contains an Odd digit.

I will be happy to read your comments.

Very nice, thanks for setting. I fumbled with 5s early on and made the puzzle more difficult than it should have been.

Very nice. Took me way too long. But I think 2,5 stars difficulty. More leaning towards 2...

******************
Reply : OK, fair enough.. Actually I had earlier released this puzzle on CTC discord server and the majority of solvers gave this a rating of 3 (couple of people gave a rating of 2). So I hope you understand why I chose a rating of 3 for this puzzle here.

It was nice but not sure if I would call this a 3*.
Also it might be worthwhile to clarify the lack of negative constraints in the description.

Reply : Sorry, I know I should have mentioned about the negative constraints. I will be careful from next time. And regarding the difficulty, May I know what rating would you give for this puzzle?
