Palindrome (odd/even)
(Published on 10. September 2024, 11:30 by Taeqle)
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply:
Place the digits 1 to 9 once in each row, column and 3x3-box.
Killer:
In cages, digits must sum to the samll clue in the top left corner of the cage and digits don't repeat.
Anti-Knight:
No digit can be a knight's move away from an equal digit.
Palindrome (odd/even):
When reading the odd or the even along a purple line they must read the same in both directions.
For clarification: The purple lines must satisfy the following two conditions:
1. When ignoring the even digits, the remaining numbers on the purple line must be a palindrome.
2. When ignoring the odd digits, the remaining numbers on the purple line must be a palindrome.
Example: 134565314
1. without the even digits: 135531 is a palindrome
2. without the odd digits: 464 is a palindrome
You can solve it at
CTC.
Hope to get feedback on the path to the solution.
Good Luck!
Solution code: Row 9 (9 digits)

Added some extra explanation to the rules of the purple lines.

I'm sorry the rules really have me confused here. Are the purple lines palindrome lines or renban lines? Given the placement of the lines, I'm not sure how it's possible for them to be palindrome lines because it would break sudoku rules. And what do you mean by "when reading odd or even along a line, they must read the same in both directions?" But your examples of valid "odd-even" palindrome lines are also extremely confusing unless I'm missing something about some standard sudoku rules that I don't know. Can you clarify?
