Day 16 Skyscrapers
(Published on 16. December 2025, 06:00 by SharpFox)

Rules:
- Normal 4×4 Sudoku rules apply.
- Each number corresponds to a skyscraper with a height equal to its value. When viewed from one side, taller skyscrapes/larger digits obscure the smaller skyscrapers/digits behind them. The clues outside the grid indicate the number of visible skyscrapers in the row or column.
- The red lines are parity lines. Even and odd numbers always alternate along these lines.
Solution code: The diagonal from top left to bottom right (4 digits):

Thanks, not the greatest skyscraper enthusiast, but thanks for restoring confidence in my sanity, since I spent over an hour to find my mistake in not being able to find a unique solution to resolve the last box in number 12.
