Herb (Parity/Kropki)
(Published on 3. March 2025, 23:09 by damo_89)
This puzzle was set as a gift for Twitch streamer olliwright for the recent sudoku Twitch train. One of the available icons on the stream is Herb the golden retriever, and this puzzle is based on him. See the likeness below!
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box
- Parity Line: Adjacent cells on an orange parity line must contain one odd and one even digit
- Kropki: Black dots separate digits where one is double the other. White dots separate consecutive digits
- Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle

If you like your sudoku with a little more spice, setting this inspired Xtra Terrestrial when I noticed the effect parity lines had on the geometry of the grid.
Solution code: Row 1

I meant to schedule the activation of this but instead I published two puzzles sequentially. Go easy on me! :)
