*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
This puzzle by gdc uses a slight twist on the new Zipper Line rule to astonishing effect. It's called Aad-van-ced Zippers and is clearly a tribute to the great Dutch sudoku constructor, Aad van de Wetering. We are at a loss to explain the current low rating of this one on Logic Masters (82%). Simon absolutely loves it.
Play the puzzle at the following link:
https://sudokupad.app/w9gvte9pxw
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits an equal distance from the centre of a lavender “Zipper Line” sum to the same total. For odd-length lines, the total is the digit placed in the line's (circled) centre. Digits may repeat on a Zipper Line.
