Susdoku - Scojo Vs 3 British Accents

"Wow Lake, back so soon?" Why yes I am! As you may have expected if you've been seeing the other posts on this website, I have to post my actual puzzle made by actual me for the Scojo impostor prompt this year! I kind of went all out making this puzzle, so it's the longest ruleset I've ever written. Because of that, I put the rules in either SudokuPad OR as a PDF you can download :)

I also need to obviously give a shout out to my impostor ARK, who made a cheeky little puzzle Squid Ink . It was a well fought battle from them, however I am happy to report that I did defeat my impostor this time and the chat did sus me out.

Rules:

• Normal sudoku rules apply.
• Oh no Scojo! Look what we have here! A Sudoku grid with a bunch of lines in them, but you have no idea what they mean!
• Luckily, Stu and Lake are here to help. They can each help you out by providing a correct statement about each line. Unfortunately, Marty is also here, and as usual he's the impostor. Marty also has statements about the puzzle, however they are lies and must not be correct.
• To make matters worse, it appears all three of these men are British, meaning you can't possibly tell their accents apart.
• Statements are given in sets of three, of which two are true and one is a lie (Either below OR on an accompanying PDF if you prefer). For each set of three statements, the ordering is random, meaning the lying statement won't necessarily be in the same place each time.

Set 1 - The Red Line

• The red line is a Modular Line, any set of three sequential cells along it contains one digit from (1,4,7), one from (2,5,8) and one from (3,6,9)
• The red line is an Entropy Line, any set of three sequential cells along it contains one digit from (1,2,3), one from (4,5,6) and one from (7,8,9)
• The red line is a Parity Line, cells along the line alternate between being odd and even

Set 2 - The Orange Line

• The orange line is a German Whisper line, adjacent digits along the line must have a difference of at least 5.
• The orange line is a Renban line, digits on the line form a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits in any order.
• The orange line is a Region Sum Line, the line is split into segments by box borders. Within each individual line, the sum of the digits on each segment is the same.

Set 3 - The Yellow Line

• The digit on the yellow diamond counts the number of odd digits on the whole line
• The yellow line is a Thermometer. Starting from the diamond, digits along the line must strictly increase
• The yellow line is a hit line. Digits may not repeat along the line, and the digit on the diamond indicates how many digits match their position along the line, starting from the diamond. E.g. (32745) would be valid as there are 3 digits in the right place, 2,4 and 5.

Set 4 - The Green Lines

• Each individual green line sums to 10.
• No digit repeats across any of the green lines.
• Each individual green line is a Renban line, in this case the two digits on any green line must be consecutive.

Set 5 - The Blue Line

• The blue line is a Palindrome Line, meaning digits along the line read the same forwards and backwards.
• The blue line is a Double Arrow, the two digits on the ends of the line sum to the three digits in the middle of the line. Digits may repeat along the line.
• No adjacent digits along the blue line may be consecutive.

Set 6 - The Purple Line

• The purple line is a Between Line, the 2 digits in the middle of the line must be strictly between the two digits on the end points of the line.
• The purple line is a Nabner line, no two digits on the line may be the same or consecutive, regardless of their position along the line.
• The purple line is a Different Difference Line. No two pairs of adjacent digits anywhere on the line may have the same difference.

Set 7- The Grey Line

• The grey line is a Zipper line. Digits an equal distance from the line's centre must sum to the cell in the centre.
• The grey line is a Regional Difference line. Box borders divide the line into three segments. The difference between the sum of adjacent segments must be the same.
• At least one digit repeats on the line.
