This puzzle was created for zetamath's octoquadri setting challenge.
Solve online:
Rules:
A grid contains eight of the digits 1–9, which appear exactly twice each. Digits may not repeat within a grid’s row, column, or 2x2 box. The omitted digit from each grid must differ (which the solver may keep track of at the top).
(Note: The parts of lines in between grids are ignored. For example, R4C2 of Grid 3 and R1C2 of Grid 6 are considered adjacent and therefore will have opposite parity.)
Lösungscode: In reading order, the digit in R1C4 of each grid. (i.e. R1C4 in the top left grid, R1C4 in the top middle grid, etc.) (six digits)

The ten squares kicked me around quite a bit, but otherwise I'm very proud of how I made my way through this little maze. :) Thank you for making this!

This turned out to be exactly the puzzle I wanted it to be when I first opened it. Perfect difficulty, surprising/satisfying logic, and it just felt like a mathpesto puzzle the entire way through. And it's about darn time Saturnalia had a younger sibling.

The "vignettes" style was such a great idea for this challenge. As soon as I saw it, I was upset that I didn't think of it first, but on the other hand, I wouldn't have done it justice like Math Pesto did. I really enjoyed the communication between the grids and the satisfying eliminations you make throughout the solve.
