Photocopied Series #4: Group Theory

(Published on 4. August 2026, 22:13 by gkammer)

This is part 4 in a series of related puzzles. You don't need to solve the others before trying this one. You can see all the puzzles in this series on my website at kammer.xyz/blog/sudoku/photocopied.

You can also visit the logic-masters pages for the other puzzles in the series:

You have been gifted a large collection of puzzles from a friend. You sift through them looking for interesting ones and find photocopies of puzzles from an old book of puzzles, filed under "puzzles with no given digits". The original book is nowhere to be found and the photocopies are in black and white.

You assume the original had a unique solution, but can you still reconstruct that solution? The rules below are listed for the entire section of puzzles, so you can't be sure whether all three line types actually exist in any of the puzzles.

  • Normal sudoku rules still apply.
  • Renban: Digits along a purple line form a set of consecutive digits in any order.
  • German whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
  • Equal-sum lines: Box borders divide a blue line into multiple segments which have the same sum. Different lines may have different sums.

Your goal is to figure out what the original solution to each puzzle was. I have transcribed this puzzle and put it on sudokupad for your ease of solving!
