It's been a while, so a new Shifter Line puzzle was due! If you enjoy this and want a bigger challenge, check out
Equality Cages 134: Equality candy. The previous puzzle in the series:
Shifter Lines 116: A multitude of constraints (with fog)
Shifter Lines 116: A multitude of constraints (without fog)
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Shifter lines: Adjacent digits within the same box on a shifter line share both parity (even/odd) AND polarity (low/high). Whenever the line enters a new box either the parity OR the polarity shifts, never both. Shifter lines can never have 5 on it. Digits may repeat on lines.
Ambigous dots: There are dots of four different colors in the puzzle, and four different constraints. It's up to the solver to deduce which color is paired with which constraint. Each color has only one constraint it identifies as, but dots are allowed to act as more than one constraint. There are no negative constraints, and the dots could be any of these four;
1.
X - Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10.
2.
V - Adjacent cells connected with an V must sum to 5.
3.
Black Kropki dots - A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio.
4.
White Kropki dots - A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values.

Love the usage of the custom solution code. The puzzle is also quite nice of course.
