Doggo Experiment #8

Update: I'm leaving this public so people can see it for the record, and just to note the error I made.
I had thought the problem was signaling in the puzzle, but with some help from the_cogito I found this was functionally broken. The intent was that you could force 5 out of r2c8 due to loss of low digits in row 2 or column 8 due to conflicts with the disjoint set through column two and row 8. After working through it with the cogito I realized that the logic that I thought constrained column 8 was incorrect. You can still technically solve this, but with that logic being incorrect I think it devolves to bifurcation. :-/

Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  • Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
  • Adjacent digits along each german whisper line must have a difference of at least 5.
  • Digits must not repeat at corresponding box positions (disjoint union)
  • Min/max cells must be greater than or less than their orthogonally adjacent neighbors as indicated by the symbols bordering the cell.

Noting the logical error that means it is not really resolvable.
