PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Normal
Chinese Whisper (
pink),
Entropic (
beige),
Modular (
teal),
Nabner (
gold),
Parity (
red),
Region Sum (
blue) and
Renban (
magenta) line rules apply
(
full explanation for each line is within the puzzle link).
MODIFIER:
•
Zippermania: Each line also acts as a Zipper line, wherein digits an equal distance from the center must sum to the digit in the middle of that line.
INTRODUCTION:
This will likely be the penultimate entry in the series (there's one more waiting in the wings) and is a bit of a reward for all your hardwork so far - having solved the previous entries will definitely aid you here.
Combining Zipper logic with other line constraints has been a lot of fun! Hopefully we get to revisit this in the future, once someone comes up with the next hot, new line craze.
Here are some puzzles from other setters using the same constraint:

Lots of surprising deductions in this one and wonderful flow throughout. Now I can't wait for the big finale!

Your labeling convention for those with color vision deficiencies should be the gold standard (get it?) of this community. I am red-green colorblind, and without that link, I would immediately pass over this puzzle. The time you took to make that extra version did not go unnoticed, unused, or unappreciated. Thank you!
