Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the small number in its corner.
- Digits separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot sum to 9.
- Red lines are reduction lines. A red line cannot contain its reduction value, which is calculated as follows:
- Sum the digits on the line.
- If the total is a two digit number, sum the digits of that number. Repeat this step until you get a single digit number.
Example: The sequence 2,5,7 sums to 14, which sums to 5, therefore the sequence 2,5,7 cannot fill a red line.

Great puzzle! It took me a while to get my head around the rules, but it was definitely worth it because there was some really cool logic in there :)

Thanks for solving! The rules seem difficult, but once you get it... ;-) (M.K.)
