So Many Broken Thermos (Version 2)
(Eingestellt am 2. Dezember 2024, 18:44 Uhr von LittleNightmaresLady)
First version had a logical leap somewhere in the path, that should be fixed now. Anyways, this is a negative constraint I've wanted to try.
Rules:
-Normal sudoku rules apply.
-The grey line is a bulbless thermo, where digits along the grey line must increase from one end to the other. No other 2x2 in the grid can have a orthogonal sequence of increasing digits.
-The cells separated by the yellow dot have an even difference, cells separated by a blue dot have an odd difference, and cells separated by a white dot have a difference indicated (1 if blank, less than 7 if marked with ?). Not all dots are necessarily given.
-A number in a big circle indicates that digit must appear in at least one of the four surrounding cells.

Lösungscode: Row 1 followed by Column 2, with no spaces.

756m on the clock ^_^ I felt like if I just kept plugging away at it, perhaps the subtleties of the ruleset which had so far eluded me would become evident... Sadly that was not the case

Thanks for taking the time to solve this!

It was a journey full of different deductions. Phew now I need a break.
Awesome work.

darf die Differenz bei einem blauen Dot 1 betragen?

Yes, 1 is odd.
