The Menace

(Eingestellt am 13. Februar 2023, 04:05 Uhr von mnasti2)

The title is a play on the term “mean mini” and a reference to a certain fictional slingshot-wielding hooligan, and does not imply difficulty. In fact, it should be on the easier side.

Rules: Fill each grid with six of the digits from 1-9 so that within each grid, no number repeats in any row, column, or box. The two grids may or may not contain the same set of six digits.

Slingshot arrows point from a digit to another instance of that digit, at the arrow cell’s distance. There is a one-cell wide gap between the two grids. (see example)

Slingshot example image: (note the double-headed arrow is two overlapping slingshots)

Puzzle:

You will have more fun with the additional knowledge that the top left digit in the left grid is odd.

Amazing how both grids came together at the end, and that was also one heck of an opening too! Thanks for this wonderful (and wacky) puzzle x)

Amazing! Some really neat interactions, super fun. I was a little confused by the hint in the ruleset but I did without it and I'm glad I did, the extra step was great!

Thanks! I also liked the original opening but no tester did :P
