(1)59.(4)
(Published on 31. May 2022, 08:00 by twototenth)
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits separated by an empty white dot must be consecutive; the dot with a 4 inside indicates a difference of 4 between the digits in the adjacent cells. Not all dots are given. 159 rules apply: Each digit in column 1 indicates the position of the 1 in the same row (for instance, if row 3 column 1 is a 2, row 3 column 2 is a 1). The same is true of columns 5 and 9 for the digits 5 and 9, respectively.
Continuing the series of "empty 159" puzzles with difference dots; previous entries include thermo, German Whispers, Renban, Lockout Lines, X pairs, and between lines.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 8, no spaces

The pathing on this puzzle was so much fun, especially with such a minimalist rule set and no starting digits. One of my favorites, great job setting!

This is certainly one of my favorite 159 puzzles ever, and particularly my favorite of the series besides 1590.
Astonishing yet challenging and intricate flow throughout, feels like slowly racing to the marked location and opening treasure chest at the end :O

Very nice ! I knew where the magic had to happen right away, but it needed some careful thinking to make it happen. The result felt very satisfying. Thanks

Very clever. Took me a bit to figure out where to start but once it clicked, it was fun and enjoyable (and very clever, as usual!)
