This was set for Scojo's "Imposter" prompt. An excellent event with an even better host who dedicated dozens of hours to solving nearly 100 puzzles in a short time frame!
I was given the prompt to create a puzzle that was the most "me" to protect my identity against my imposter Flinty and this puzzle was the result. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. You should check out the amazing puzzle used to defeat me Square Pegs Round Hole!
Thanks also to everyone who made this event possible, it was a great time participating!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cells touching a gold sum dot must sum to the indicated total. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
- Digits along a purple renban line are a collection of consecutive, non-repeating digits arranged in any order.
- Digits along a grey sequence line form a sequence of digits with a constant difference (e.g. 123, 135, or 111).
- Box borders divide blue region sum lines into segments that all have the same sum.
Solution code: Row 1 left to right
