$An Absolutely Incredible Sudoku Feat Heres where you can try Querulous by Nicolas Duhail: https://sudokupad.app/2jar2lhcc5 Normal sudoku rules apply. Cells separated by a knights move cannot contain the same digit. All lines sum to the same total. Any three adjacent digits along the teal modular line have different residues modulo 3 (i.e. one digit from {1,4,7}, one from {2,5,8}, and one from {3,6,9}). Box borders divide the blue region sum line into segments with the same sum. Along the pink renban line, digits form a consecutive sequence in any order. Along the orange dutch whisper line, adjacent digits differ by at least 4. Along the gold nabner line, digits do not repeat and no two digits appearing anywhere on the line can be consecutive. Any three adjacent digits along the peach entropic line contains one low digit (123), one middle digit (456), and one high digit (789). Along the green german whisper line, adjacent digits differ by at least 5. Digits along the red parity line must alternate between odd and even. ▶ OUR PATREON PAGE – JOIN THE COMMUNITY, SUPPORT US AND TRY OUR PUZZLE HUNTS◀ https://www.patreon.com/crackingthecryptic On the first of every month we reward our Patreon members with a sudoku hunt!
