Rules for Sudoku. Additionally, each number in the grid represents the height of the skyscraper in each cell. The digits above and to the left of the grid indicate the number of odd skyscrapers seen from the corresponding direction (considering even digits as transparent). The digits below and to the right of the grid indicate the number of even skyscrapers seen from the corresponding direction (considering odd digits as transparent).

Rated – Medium.

Puzzle No. 374 : Odd Sudoku with Descriptive Pairs [Daily League]

Week 15 PDF. 

Compared to how difficult Descriptive Pairs can usually get, I think the Odd part tames this combination a lot and puts it on the easy side. I still like how it turned out, especially with the clue pairs working out with a “same sum” theme that I was trying.

Rules – Follow regular Sudoku rules. Also, all shaded cells must contain odd digits. Additionally, for every pair of outside clues X and Y, at least one of these cases is true :

1) X is in the Yth position in that direction.

2) Y is in the Xth position in that direction.

Enjoy!
