Those combined lines are surprisingly constrained so a little precalculation helps quite a lot.

I don't know if I did that right, but my computer engineer brain made me list every possibility regarding the line constraints. Quite exhaustive, but quite rewarding in the end, that helped a lot! Not easy though, I nearly failed two or three time xD

In the end, it was really enjoyable puzzle to solve! Would 100% recommend it to someone with the same brain as me haha

What a beautiful puzzle. The coulours show the path.... Thanks

Fun puzzle combining german whispers and mod lines.

I don't agree with Jakey, the one in box 2 does actually work and it's, in my opinion, how you start the puzzle.

Using the knowledge and secrets from both german whispers and mod lines combined you can get there.

I do agree though that 3* suits better the difficulty of the puzzle.

advice to noobs, to avoid medical problems:
a) the modular staples have a critical property. find it, and use it.
b) sudoku is your friend

So how exactly does the line in Box 2 follow the modular line rule set? I spent a lot of time filling it out (this is much harder than a 2 star by the way), checked it, and it was wrong. The digits that actually fill out the line do NOT follow the modular line rule set as I understand them. I did not complete the puzzle, so I can't speak for the other lines. Perhaps I'll give it another try if someone can explain to me how those digits on that line satisfy the modular line rule.

>> We will take our best shot at addressing this without seeing your actual grid. If we're way off base (or even if we're not) feel free to reach out to us using the email link on our website, or ping us in Discord (full_deck or missingafewcards) and we can be of more direct assistance.

We suspect the issue may be with interpretation of "adjacent along the line." Thinking of the staple in box 2 particularly, r1c4 is adjacent to r2c4 along the line but is NOT adjacent to r1c5 along the line. So r1c4, r2c4, and r2c5 form a set of cells whose digits must have different remainders when divided by 3 since those three cells are adjacent along the line. Similarly, r2c4, r2c5, and r1c5 are a set of three cells adjacent along the line so must have digits with three different remainders when divided by 3. However, r1c4 and r1c5 are NOT together in a set of three digits adjacent along the line.

I really enjoyed this. Harder than 2*.

Very entertaining puzzle and not too difficult. Thank you for sharing.

What a lovely puzzle. It's interesting how constraining this ruleset really is.

It's also interesting how I could see this being 1/5 at LMD, while still being really challenging somewhere else.

Lovely!

Love this. Feel I learned some useful stuff about the modular constraint more generally. Thanks!
