This puzzle is a collab with sujoyku for the same prompt that produced The Holdovers. I chose Jay Dyer's Repeating Renban and sujoyku chose Little Killer. We hope you enjoy!
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
- Repeating Renban: The digits on a line form a consecutive set, but may be in any order. Digits may repeat on a line, and the digit on the dot equals the number of distinct digits on that line. For example, a valid Repeating Renban could read 3454 with 3 being on the dot.
- Little Killer: Digits along a marked diagonal sum to the total given.
Solution code: Row 7

What a unique puzzle! These are some really unorthodox deductions (so IMO it is quite hard).

Linked to The Holdovers instead of Repeat Prescription.

Thank you for the nice collaboration, Gene! I loved to learn about the interactions of Repeating Renbans and Little Killers.
