(Published on 12. August 2020, 00:00 by Richard)
Difference Pointers Sudoku
Apply classic sudoku rules.
In all cases where the difference between two horizontally adjacent digits is equal to the first digit in the respective row, an inequality sign is placed horizontally. In all cases where the difference between two vertically adjacent digits is equal to the first digit in the respective column, an inequality sign is placed vertically.
Inspiration for this type comes from glum_hippo.

This puzzle definitely needs more solves!
Normally I do write words like this at other authors puzzles, but in this case I think it’s appropriate here too, since I think personally that it is one of the nicest of the entire SVS. ;-)

I realised that the latest episodes of SVS were on the hard side. Since one of the goals (that I have set for my self) is making puzzles that are interesting and solvable for a large group of players, I will (in general) try to get the difficulty a bit down again. Still: you need to realize how the intrinsic logic works before you can get started. (I hope!)

This is indeed somewhat easier than the original series, as it only employs a subset of the logic used there.

I think this type has a lot of potential; easy ruleset and lots of possible entries. I highly recommend to solve all three puzzles by glum_hippo: 0003P8, 0003Q9 and 0003V9.

..Nun ja, ein bißchen schlitzöhrig war es auch, zugegeben!

ich hab mich nur gewundert, bin nicht böse. Würde ich ja auch machen.

Man konnte von vorhergehenden SVS voraussagen, wann das Rätsel eingestellt wird, und ich war ein Test-Löser für dieses Rätsel. Bitte nicht böse sein :-)

Ich frage mich ernsthaft, wie es möglich ist, das Einstellzeit und Lösungszeit übereinstimmen.

Wheeeeee
