This puzzle was set for the 2nd week of Scojo's Setting Saturday's Imposter Prompt. We each had to imitate the setting style of another participant. I got Scojo so I decided to continue his Copycat series with Index Lines. This successfully fooled his Twitch chat that this was the real Scojo puzzle amidst the chaos that was happening.
Thank you lake for your assistance with this puzzle.
Normal 9x9 sudoku rules apply.
Copycat Cells: Place 9 Copycat Cells into the grid so that there is exactly one Copycat Cell in each row, column, and 3x3 box. Each Copycat Cell must contain a different digit. The value of a Copycat Cell is the digit in the cell rotationally opposite itself in the grid (180° rotation about the center of the grid). For example, if r2c3 is a Copycat Cell containing the digit 5, and r8c7 contains the digit 9, the value of r2c3 is the digit in r8c7, which is 9.
Index Lines: The value in the Nth cell along a line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the value N appears. Eg: 3214 would be a valid line; the 1st value, 3, indicates that the 3rd value is a 1, and so on.
