Please Ignore
(Published on 10. March 2025, 02:02 by marty_sears)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
One digit from 1-9 (to be determined) is 'inactive' and always gets ignored by any line it appears on.
REGION SUM: Box borders divide blue lines into segments which each have the same sum (not counting any inactive digits.) The region sum may be different for different blue lines.
RENBAN: All active digits on a pink line must form a non-repeating consecutive set.
NABNER: Any two active digits anywhere on a yellow line may not be consecutive or the same.
Please leave a comment if you enjoy :)
Solution code: Column 2, reading downwards, but not including the ignored digit

Loved this puzzle! It had a perfect cadence for it without feeling spoon-fed. Either by sheer luck or clever setting, I felt like I always knew where to look for the next clue. I think I know which one :)

Good to be back on Logic Masters after not being on it for a while. Even better to come back to a Marty Puzzle! Loved this one!

I almost ignored this puzzle. Glad that I did not. Brilliant! Thanks Marty.

I absolutely loved this puzzle. It may be my favourite one of yours yet! Yeah. I think so. Well... Hmm, either it's my favourite or it's tied with the tic-tac-toe one, because that one too is very fun.
I need to see a puzzle of yours that isn't any fun, just s I can dispel this notion I'm starting to get that you are incapable of making bad puzzles. XD

Please ignore this comment. ;)

Loved this one, and the grid looks very nice. Like a kids drawings of a butterfly :)

Very nice (as all Marty Sears puzzles are), but tricky!
I had "proven" to myself that there was no way to fill box 9, and it took me forever to figure out what was wrong with that proof.
Even after that, there never really was a big break that pretty much solved the puzzle, only small breaks that got you a bit further.
But definitely fun!

Very fun, interesting new logic. Was easier than I expected going in, but each deduction was thrilling.

I love that you can have fun with the solution code.

A rather nice and fun puzzle, but this sitting at 2/5 diff over here is one of the biggest jokes I've seen so far xd

Very beautiful with a gentle flow. That's what I like on all your puzzles. No need to guess, there's always a door that opens up when you ask the right question. Thanks for sharing.

What a pleasure. I love how your puzzles always require me to think in a novel way. Keep them coming!!

Almost skipped this one thinking the "Please Ignore" was a request not a title :D
Very glad I didn't. Great puzzle, love the curvy line style, too.

Such a fun treat! Thanks

A delightful twist, right at the very end. Ha ha - took several attempts to enter the correct solution code!
Thank you for another masterpiece.

Very nice puzzle. I don't know how you bang out so many.

The break-in is the most interesting, but it remains fun throughout. More like this please! Thanks Marty!

What a wonderful twist on modified digits! Felt like the perfect execution of "inactive" digits and I enjoyed the solve from start to finish.

How is it that every Marty Sears puzzle is original, fun, and enlightening? Two out of three is really good, but all three all the time is just not fair.
Brilliant puzzle again. Loved it.

What a wonderful puzzle! I feel a bit sorry for the poor ignored digit (What was it again?). But this is an absolute in-style Marty Sears puzzle. Creative, brilliant and fun! Thank you for setting and sharing this gem!
