NATMOS 3: A brief moment in its right place

(Published on 17. October 2026, 20:21 by Neokart)

Hi everyone. This is the 3rd part of the series inspired by The Caretakers' album "Nowhere at the Millennium of Space".

Rules:

1. Normal sudoku rules apply: Each row, column and 3x3 box contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once.
2. Dutch Whisper Lines: Adjacent digits along an orange line differ by at least 4.
3. Kropki Pairs: A pair of digits joined by a white dot are consecutive. A pair of digits joined by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (i.e. one digit is double the other). Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
4. X: Digits joined by an X must sum to 10. Not all possible Xs are necessarily given.

I did enjoy this but it was challenging. It didn't need bifurcation but was pretty hard.
Once I saw the trick it was still tough until near the end.
Great puzzle

This doesn't feel human-designed. Too much bifurcation.
I did not enjoy it.
