All’s Different 2
(Eingestellt am 30. Januar 2025, 18:41 Uhr von The Bard)
*Notice: This is two separate puzzles in one.
Welcome to a universe where these rules are normal...
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column and box without repetition.
Prime Line: Digits along the green lines must be prime. For this puzzle 1 is considered prime.
Low Circle: Digits in a cell with a grey circle must be less than 5.
High Square: Digits in a cell with a grey square must be greater than 5.
Adding Quads: Cells with a white circle touching them add up to the value in the circle.
Helpful V’s: Digits with a V between them subtract from each other and have an absolute value of 5.
Spiteful X’s: Digits with and X between them subtract from each other and have an absolute value of 1.
In order to find your way back to this universe you must also solve this puzzle using normal rules. You will find the link to this puzzle with normal rules in the success message.
This is a sequel to All’s Different, however this puzzle did not have a mirror version back into our own universe.

I think the absolute value description as is works just fine. I had no issues but perhaps I am the odd one out.

1) Thank you for fixing the instructions on prime numbers. That messed up my first attempt. I figured out that had to be the case, but it slowed me down and made me start over first.
2) It would be better to make the the two versions of the puzzle separate links on this page, rather than having to solve them in order and get the clues from them. There's no particular reason to order them one way or the other.
For anyone looking, here's the direct link to the other version of this puzzle: https://sudokupad.app/l1ws9z165v
I missed the instruction that the link was in the victory screen and went looking for it on this site only to not see it there. I ended up solving the same original grid with standard rules.
3) I generally don't like being required to solve 2 puzzles to get 1 code. That's just a personal preference, but I would prefer to see this as 2 different puzzles in a series.

Very fun to solve and a rather clever idea to make it work with two different rule sets! A blast!
~~
Someone made that suggestion in my last one, and it was a great idea. I finally had a chance to sit down and make it work.

"absolute value" is used wrong. as written, it means the DIGITS ARE +5/+1. it should read "the digits DIFFER by 5/1"
~~
It is a choice of how to describe it, if you have 3-8=-5 or 8-3=5 the absolute value is 5.
I admit I could word it about 3 or 4 different ways, part of the point was to word it in an alternate universe sort of way. If there is enough missunderstanding I will change it.
