Element-Sudoku Strontium

(Published on 7. June 2026, 12:24 by Zinker)

The normal Sudoku rules apply: in each row, each column, and each bold-outlined 3x3 box, the digits 1–9 must each appear exactly once.

Additionally:

Green spectral lines: Adjacent digits along any green spectral line differ by at least 5.

Blue spectral line: The digits on the blue spectral line sum to the atomic number of strontium in the periodic table of elements (for non-chemists: strontium has atomic number 38).

Yellow atoms: Around an atom, all surrounding digits are either all even or all odd. All atoms are given.

Red atomic nuclei: Around a red atomic nucleus there are always two pairs of identical digits in a cross formation (e.g., 2 2 and 4 4).

Electrons: Cells connected by a white electron contain consecutive digits. Cells connected by a black electron have a 1:2 ratio. Not all white and black electrons are given.

there's an actual MISTAKE here (not just a rules ERROR).
first of all, we have to recognize that an ATOM and a NUCLEUS are NOT the same thing. not in chemistry, and not in this ruleset.

but what are we to do with the left nucleus ? it breaks the atomic negative constraint. on the other hand, the right nucleus does not.

also, this appears to be a grid-wide parity colouring puzzle with a negative constraint, and more. unlikely to be level 2.
