Symphony (Birthday Special Edition)
(Eingestellt am 7. März 2024, 08:30 Uhr von Playmaker6174)
This puzzle was mainly inspired by my old Harmony puzzle in the past and also by James Sinclair, whose puzzles I've been enjoying more and more over the time. The opening of this puzzle was the part that I worked on the most overall - which requires one to gain some key insights before the actual breakthrough - and the rest just followed after that. Also I found it funny how 'symmetrical' this could turn out at the end x)
I originally aimed for the range of 3-3.5 in terms of difficulty but in fairness, I'll let everyone decide for the difficulty of this one. For now, I hope you enjoy some of the ideas in this special puzzle edition!
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- An X connects two digits that sum to 10. Not all Xes are given.
- Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the circle cell attached to that arrow.
- Along a green line, two adjacent digits have the difference of at least 5.
- Along a pink line, digits form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits that can be in any order.
Puzzle: F-puzzle - Penpa plus - Sudokupad
Good luck and have fun solving!
Lösungscode: Row 2 (left to right), 9 digits long

Very elegant break in. Was happy and amazed when I finally saw it. The puzzle flowed very nicely afterwards too and the symmetry is great.

Amazing how rotating two of the X clues identifies the puzzle. I thought the break was a tad on the hard side of 3 stars. Brilliant.

There's some beautiful logic involved in this, I would say the difficulty shifts quite a bit towards the end. The first 10 digits take an hour to find and then suddenly you start filling the grid with a freeway speed. I loved the frustration, completely worth it.
