Dutch Flat Mates: Multiple Lines
(Eingestellt am 24. Juni 2026, 07:00 Uhr von marty_sears)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Every 5 in the grid must have a 1 directly above it, or a 9 directly below it. It may have both, but it doesn't need both.
For two adjacent digits along a coloured line, dividing one by the other gives an exact integer (one is a multiple of the other.)
Lösungscode: Column 3 reading downwards

RAR extracted smoothly. Thank you :)

Ok, so I oh so stupidly misread the Dutch Flat Mate rule and thought the 1s go below the 5s and the 9s above, yet I believe with my butchered rules this too solves uniquely, and satisfyingly. I was so confused when the software declined my solution.
Not sure if this was intentional but it might have something to do with the symmetry of the puzzle.
Edit: My suspicions were correct, all I had to do was rotate my solution 180 degrees to get the correct solution. This was probably my strangest sudoku solve yet lol
Marty: yes haha. The DFM rule is the only thing that disambiguates the symmetry. So if you invert the rule, you invert the solution!

What a lovely, accessible puzzle! I found the break-in immediately and whenever I got stuck using one half of the ruleset, the other half of it came to the rescue

I used to love doing Dutch Flat Mates but as time went on they got more mathsy than my skill ability.
I'm able to work out if one number is divisable by another.
So pleased to complete this one, I really missed solving them. Thank You.

Very nice puzzle. I like the symmetry, even the given 8 contributes. Thanks!

Nice one!
Seemed almost impossible, but after finding the right clues, it basically solved itself.

Very proud of myself for actually remembering the Dutch flatmates constraint within the first couple of minutes for once!

There are indeed multiple lines, gg :)

What an amazing puzzle. Looks utterly hopeless at first glance, but the logic is beautiful.

This was another one that initially felt impossible and had no idea where to even begin. After a couple of minutes it started to clarify and in the end was just a wonderful puzzle.

Thank you very much for creating and sharing another fantastic DFM-puzzle. The symmetry of the Factor Lines is incredible!
