First puzzle: Oh, these date formats (new "date line" mechanic, looking for testers) - Dashiel - 07.11.2026 Hi all, here's the first puzzle I've set. It uses a mechanic I haven't seen before (I think): date lines. Each pink line spells the same date, but you don't know if it's written day-month-year, year-month-day or any other order. It was inspired by the pain of there being so many ways to write a date. https://sudokupad.app/ozun009pnx It also has killer cages, Kropki dots and German whispers. It hasn't been test-solved yet, so I'm looking for a few first solvers. I'd love to hear whether it's fun, whether the rules are clear, and how hard it felt. If you get stuck or the logic seems to break down, please let me know where. I'd also like to post it on https://logic-masters.de/ once it's been tested. Is there an etiquette for that, e.g. should it be discussed here first, or is posting it in both places fine? Enjoy, Dashiel
