• Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Solving a cell clears any fog from its immediate vicinity.
• There are exactly five identical non-overlapping 3x3 magic squares somewhere in the grid (each containing the digits 1 to 9 such that every row, column and main diagonal have the same sum). Also the centre cells of the 3x3 boxes form a sixth magic square similar to the other five but rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
• A gold cell contains its position within its row, column or box (in normal reading order).
For example if cell R1C8 is gold then it contains either 8 (position in row), 1 (position in column) or 2 (position in box).
• All possible gold cells are given.
For example if cell R7C9 is white then it does NOT contain 9 (position in row), 7 (position in column) or 3 (position in box).

Gold. The entire series is a rich mine. Sadly, I keep mixing up gold and friendly cells. The gold is within box position, the friendly is the entire box number. The example is very helpful, but old habits persist.
