- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Parity types : Odd/Even ; Prime/Comp ; Low/High
- Parity sets : Odd - 13579 ; Even - 2468 ; Prime - 2357 ; Comp - 4689 ; Low - 1234 ; High - 6789
- Each line will consist of three digits; each one from a set from each parity type. (example - Odd/Prime/Low)
- A digit on a line must be exclusive from any other digit on the line in respect to its parity set.
- (If a 2 is on a line and it represents the Low set, then the digits representing the Odd/Even and Prime/Comp sets on the line CANNOT also be from the Low set - [1,3,4])
- All lines must have a unique combination of digits.
- Each colored dot in the grid represents a specific parity set. The given 3 has three colored dots; one color for odd, one color for low, one color for prime.
- Which color represents which parity set must be determined by the solver.

This puzzle is on my list of favorites. I solved it 6 months ago and solved it again today. Because I have done a couple other of your puzzles the logical progression is much easier and I found a break-in I did not notice the first time. I cannot believe you have 9 solves and no ratings. Hopefully my rating will show up in a bit. I know LMD delays ratings to keep puzzlers anonymous.

Hey Jrosas, appreciate the continued support and thrilled you enjoyed the puzzle enough to put it in your favorites list. Unfortunately as far as LMD is concerned, ratings for a puzzle require a minimum of 10 solves/ratings. Don't worry too much about it, I'm just glad this puzzle brought you some good sudoku fun!!

Holy **** that was hard. After about a month or two I finally finished it.

There is a logical way to solve the puzzle, but depending on your approach I can see how this could get quite difficult. Congrats nonetheless on conquering this one. Appreciate the solve and feedback.

Nice one again Xeon - there is an interesting 'trick' to simplifying the solve, which I enjoyed.

I feel there are a couple of approaches to this one, but the path you found was very interesting indeed!

I liked this puzzle setter’s “Parity Repellent” puzzle so much I went looking for more work by the same setter. Again, I got really stuck for a long time. I did not actually understand the rule set. Ultimately I do not know that I actually proved the last two parities. I was seeing if they would work and kept solving until the puzzle was done.
Thanks for the wonderful puzzle.
I have a puzzle of my own I’d like to publish, but I cannot seem to change the settings on my account to confirm my email.

Thanks for seeking out more of my puzzles, though I will admit, they are far outside the realm of normal variant sudoku. There are a couple approaches here, but the main idea is to have lines with digits from three parity types, each digit will represent an exclusive parity set. (Meaning if a low is on the line, then no other lows can exist on the line. And you still have to find two more digits from two different sets that hold the same property). Appreciate the solve and feedback as well.
As far as posting your own puzzle(s), try reaching out to the mods/support to see if they can assist with your account.
Thanks. I reached out and have submitted 12 puzzles.

What a beautiful concept. Without even looking at the colors of the lines i assumed every line had different dots and wasted so much time. But once I got the correct understanding it is not hard at all.

Thanks for taking the time to give this puzzle a try. I think with this one that difficulty is determined by the approach, of which, there is more than one way to attack this thing. I do appreciate your generous feedback and of course the solve.
