The brief
MI6 - TOP SECRET - YOUR EYES ONLY TO: Agent 007 FROM: MI6 Headquarters, London OPERATION: CRAB KEY THREAT LEVEL: CRITICAL 007, Intelligence has confirmed that Dr. No-Doku is plotting against global interests. Access codes have been concealed behind a numerical cipher designed to prevent unauthorized access. Your task is to penetrate the cipher and recover the codes. Your objective is to enter the digits 0 through 9 so that they appear in every row, column, and 3×3 section without repeats, however a digit will be omitted in each. The green lines are German Whispers which means adjacent digits must have a difference of at least 5 and the orange lines are Dutch Whispers which are the same except the difference is 4. Mind the bullet holes which act as Kropki dots meaning digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio, and digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Moneypenny reminds you, “Keep your head on task, James, no time for distractions.” No gadgets. No backup. Just logic, nerve, and a license to solve.
