Buddy System Sudoku

(Published on 22. June 2020, 06:05 by MLBadger93)

Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Along each diagonal, the digits 1 through 9 appear exactly once. In each colored region, the digit 3 appears exactly once. Every other digit in a colored region must appear 2 or more times.

Additionally, no digit appears in the same region as a multiple of itself, excluding 1 (e.g. if 2 is in a region, 4 and 8 cannot be in the same region).

For an abstract solution path, remove the 8 given in r9c1. This would be more difficult.

Solution code: Column 3 then Column 8 (top to bottom) with no spaces or other characters in between the numbers.

Happy to hear it! There's no shame in making a misstep once or twice, even more so if you backtracked and found it. Thank you for the feedback.

I had a lot of fun with this! It was my first time doing a sudoku variant, and I'm not proud to say my logic was very rusty at first, but once I caught my mistake, the pieces came together nicely. Very satisfying.
