Overlooked a basic question and really, really struggled with this one. After several restarts, I tried different route and finally it clicked. Ask a right question=2 stars, ask bunch of wrong questions = only god knows how many stars :)
Classic Eric Rathbun puzzle, combining constraints in way that it leads to fairly unusual twist which then unravels the whole puzzle.
Beautiful puzzle, many thanks

One of the best variant sudokus I've done (out of hundreds). The logic was really unusual throughout and kept making me think. Well done!
