Rules:

  • Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.
  • Copycat Cells: Place 6 copycat cells into the grid so that there is exactly one in each row, column, and 2x3 box, and each contains a different digit. A copycat cell has the value of the digit in the cell rotationally opposite itself in the grid (180° rotation about the center of the grid). For example, if r2c3 is a Copycat Cell containing the digit 5, and r5c4 contains the digit 3, the value of r2c3 is the digit in r5c4, which is 3.
  • Index Lines: The value in the Nth cell along a thicker cyan line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the value N appears. For example, if a diamond cell has a value 3, the third cell along that line must have a value 1.
  • Renban Lines: Values on the thinner pink lines must form a consecutive sequence when sorted.
  • X-Sums: Digits outside the grid indicate the sum of the first N values, where N is the value in the closest cell to the clue.

All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!

Solution code: Row 3 left to right (6 digits)
