Oil, Water, Skyscrapers
(Published on 1. January 2024, 16:00 by Blobz)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits in the grid represent the heights of skyscrapers, and clues outside the grid indicate the number of skyscrapers visible in the corresponding row or column.
Digits in cages do not repeat.
Each cage is either full of "oil" (even digits), full of "water" (odd digits), or a mix of both. In all cases, each "row" within a cage is of just one type (oil or water). Oil floats on water, so even digits will always be in rows above odd digits in mixed cages.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
Solution code: Row 2 followed by Row 3

I definitely found this the most difficult so far, like others. I've been getting faster and more familiar with the oil and water ruleset but the addition of skyscrapers definitely flummoxed me, so I'm satisfied that I got there in the end.

I have some respect trying skyscraper puzzles. But this was very smooth and great fun thx.

I'm working through the series right now—while I normally have difficulty with skyscrapers (which was also the case here), I'll second VKP in that I found this extremely rewarding! Thank you!

I have some form of oil/water/even/odd dyslexia, but still love these puzzles. Thanks, Blobz!

It could be because Skyscrapers aren't my specialty but I found this to be the toughest yet (and the most rewarding to solve). Thanks! Great entry in the series.

This one is the most easily one of the oil&water series. But the oil&water concept is amazing still
