Shifter Lines 102: Lock the killer in the cage
(Published on 15. November 2023, 18:28 by gUBBLOR)
Shifter Lines 101: Introduction to Shifter Lines
Shifter Lines 103: Shift to winter clothing, it's getting cold
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
I'd recommend solving the first one before giving this one a go.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Shifter lines: Adjacent digits within the same box on a shifter line share both parity (even/odd) AND polarity (low/high). Whenever the line enters a new box either the parity OR the polarity shifts, never both. Shifter lines can never have 5 on it. Digits may repeat on lines.
Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.
Killer cages: The digits in a cage must sum to the number printed in its corner. Digits may not repeat within a cage.

This is a fun ruleset, though I have to be careful with it

This took me so much trial and error as I'm still extremely new. I had notepad, an excel grid, and a cage reference. Still took me over an hour and a half. Great puzzle though! Loved it
