Stuck In The Middle With You (Between Broken 159)
(Published on 15. January 2022, 00:11 by tallcat)
More Broken 159 fun! This was my contribution to a Broken 159 puzzle pack from the CTC Discord, themed on classic rock songs. Thanks to Andrewsarchus for the title suggestion.
Normal Sudoku rules apply
Between Lines: Digits on lines must fall strictly between the circled endpoints.
Broken 159: Digits in red-shaded cells in column 1 indicate the position of 1 in the corresponding row. The same is true in columns 5 and 9 for 5's and 9's respectively. ALL possible red cells in columns 1,5,9 are given. e.g. If R1C1 is a 4, then R1C4 cannot be a 1.
Can be found at f-puzzles or CTC

Tricky, yet very satisfying and rewarding throughout the solve. Great interactions between the clues and I like how the ending got resolved :)

Excellent work. It takes a lot to get me to enjoy Between Lines, but you seem to manage it every time.
