@@StroSolves You can color one cell in several colors. When you introduced red you also colored some cells that can be red into red (one of them will be red and the other won't). On CtC Mark and then Simon in such cases color possible cells with adding white (initially it was light grey) splash to them, so that the cell is colored half in white and half in red.
@@QwDragon ah, I see. Yeah, I know you can do more than one color in a cell. I guess in my mind, if there are two cells that are red, then it's obvious that they're not both red, but I can see how doing red/white striped might be more clear if you're doing lots of coloring in a puzzle.
@@StroSolves Coloring can be more complicated than that. You can chose more than one cell to be initial red (like two cells as a way to get sum 5) then one of them and a pair is a very different thing, or when colors intersect like this cell is only red or yellow vs this cell is red, yellow or smth else.
It took way too long for me to crack it, but when I finally noticed R4C2 could only be a 1 or a 2, making a 12 double in the column it was just filling in remaining.
I noticed that r3c5 had to go in c2 in box 3 but I didn't notice it always goes into r4c2. It wasn't even a scanning problem. I was just to focussed on the fact it created a "virtual" 12 pair in c2 making r6c2 a naked single (12 because of the pair and 456 because r5c2 and r6c3 wouldn't work, I had those cells pencilmarked since I got that 2). I didn't do colors at all
Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. All white dots are given.
I find it interesting on how the boxes are essentially flipped & mirrored
I think that's a result of the non-consecutive rule and the smaller 6x6 grid being pretty limited already.
nice puzzle and solving
Please mark possible red with red/white pair like CtC do.
I don't know what you mean. Sorry.

12 pair in C2, in bottom left box 1 goes to C1, so it's impossible to have red-yellow pair in C1 or C3. But actually not sure if it helps...
Ok, it allows to get 3 in R6C2 by 12-123-virtual1 triple in C1, but seems like your way is simplier))
I got it in 50 minutes 32 seconds… I'm not the best at solving Sudoku puzzles, let alone Sudoku puzzles with no digits on the grid.
