It will be interesting to see what combination you come up with next!

In terms of combinations, I suppose the way the negation logic would work would simply be that if there was no bar between two squares then the difference would not be 1 or 2 (or 3, if using three types of bar). :) The danger is it might be a bit confusing to keep track of/check whilst solving, however!

It was clever, but also more of the same. 3-away is more plain than odd/even 2-away or consecutive. Having one with all 3 consecutive types in combination could be fun, but wouldn't that break the negation logic? Still, it would be like playing a Killer Sudoku or CalcuDoku. I look forward to trying it out. :) I enjoyed this one. It was clever, but also more of the same. 3-away is more plain than odd/even 2-away or consecutive.
