After my first collaboration with ChinStrap on a puzzle prompt from Scojo where we set Hyperextension, a puzzle that introduced Tentropy Lines, we loved working with them so much that we set another puzzle using them. It was great experience working together again, further exploring the logic that the line-type offers.
All feedback is much appreciated, and we hope you enjoy!
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Tentropy Lines: Every set of 4 adjacent digits on a peach line must contain a digit from each of the X-pair (ten-pair) subsets of {1,9}, {2,8}, {3,7}, and {4,6}. A 5 may not appear on a tentropy line. Digits on a line may repeat if allowed by other rules.
159 Indexing: Digits in columns 1, 5, and 9 indicate the column in which the digit 1, 5, or 9 (respectively) appears in that row.
Play on SudokuPad!
Solution code: Row 3 from left to right. (9 digits)

Great puzzle! It felt like an introductory one after the behemoth with modifiers. Maybe it’s worth to add this one to the description to have a series hands-on. Still it was very smooth and great in its own right. Great collaboration guys, thank you!

Thank you, MSDOS and ChinStrap, great to see you two setting more together! Even though I am not a 159 fan, I enjoyed this one. Is it allowed to join you in the Tentropy Team?
